Since 1801, the Marines of 8th & I have served as the public face of the Marine Corps, representing 250 years of tradition, standards, and history to our nation's leaders, the American people, and guests from around the world. Through parades, ceremonies, dignified transfers, Presidential support, and security missions, the "Oldest Post of the Corps" upholds our nation's most sacred responsibilities with the discipline and precision that define every Marine. As America marks 250 years of independence, 8th & I stands as a living testament to the generations who came before, and the standard for those who will follow in our footsteps.
