This Day in Marine Corps History
On June 2, 1918, the German 28th Division attacked American troops on the Paris-Metz Road, hitting the American 2nd Division, including the 4th Marine Brigade. The Marines opened fire with deadly accuracy, helping hand German troops a setback that set the stage for Marine victory at Belleau Wood which would soon follow.
The Marine Corps has a long, proud history and, more so than any other branch of America's military, it values and embraces that history.
