Once a Marine, always a Marine.
Sunday, Nov. 10, marks the 249th birthday of the United States Marine Corps.
Pagosa-area Marines and their guests will celebrate the event at Boss Hogg’s Restaurant and Saloon, 157 Navajo Trail Drive, from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Wilderness Room on the restaurant’s main floor.
The traditional cake-cutting by sword and a video birthday message from Headquarters Marine Corps will be featured. The oldest and youngest Marine present will be honored.
Food and drink may be ordered from the restaurant’s menu and paid for by each attendee with a 20 percent gratuity added. Complementary birthday cake will be served.
