In 1812, Marine Lieutenant William Sharp Bush fell in battle aboard USS CONSTITUTION as she fought and defeated HMS GUERRIERE, the action that helped earn “Old Ironsides” her famous name. This year’s U.S. Marine Corps Birthday Breakfast honors 250 Years of Marines past and present and lifts up LT Bush’s legacy. With Congressman Seth Moulton as our special guest, we connect the Corps’ history to the values that endure today. Join us on November 17: https://bit.ly/3Wdjhkd #USMCHistory #OldIronside
