Since 1801, the Marines of 8th & I have served as the public face of the Marine Corps, demonstrating 250 years of traditions, standards, and history to visitors, our nation's leaders, and their guests. Marine Barracks Washington is entrusted with some of our Corps' most sacred responsibilities, such as providing Presidential support and safeguarding senior leaders, laying fallen Marines and their family members to rest, maintaining a National Historic Landmark, and executing parades and ceremonies within and beyond our historic gates. 225 years after President Thomas Jefferson selected this plot of land as the home of the Marine Corps, the "Oldest Post of the Corps" upholds the same values of honor, courage, and commitment that define every Marine, serving as a living testament to the legacy built by the Marines who set the standard.
