Soon, Marines were aboard American ships fighting to secure American interests abroad.  \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003e250th Anniversary Commemorative Coin Series: Each coin highlights a pivotal era in the Corps’ rich heritage, honoring the valor, traditions, and legacy that have defined the Marines for centuries.
