Celebrate at Their Birthplace
Philadelphia and the Delaware River are the birthplace of the Navy and Marine Corps, and their 250th birthdays are best celebrated at their birthplace.
Celebrating the Services who secured 250 years of independence.
As Americans celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence – the Semiquincentennial – we should also commemorate the founding of the military services which gained and have defended our independence for 250 years. In 1775, the Navy and Marine Corps were founded in Philadelphia and launched their fight for American independence from the Delaware River.
Homecoming 250 Navy Marine Corps is a charity created to host the main celebrations of the Navy and the Marine Corps 250th birthdays in their birthplace – Philadelphia and the Delaware River.
Homecoming 250 is planning spectacular celebrations for the Navy and Marine Corps’ 250th birthdays:
These celebrations will provide exciting opening events for the Nation’s 250th, shine an early spotlight on the birthplace of our Nation, and honor the Navy, the Marine Corps, and the men and women of all backgrounds who have defended America and the world for 250 years.
We invite you to join us in giving our Navy, Marines, and Veterans a once-in-a-lifetime 250th celebration!
