On the eve of Veterans Day, Jesuit’s Marine Corps JROTC program celebrates the 240th birthday of the United States Marine Corps with a special lunchtime ceremony in the Traditions Courtyard. Senior Austin Blanchard cuts the birthday cake during the program, which is just one of many held across the country today. The ceremony included the reading of the Commandant’s message. Afterwards, Blue Jays were invited to have a piece of the birthday cake in the Student Commons.
