#OTD in 1868, 7th Commandant of the Marine Corps, Brig. Gen. Jacob Zeilin, adopted the first Eagle, Globe, and Anchor as the official emblem of the Marine Corps. Over time, there have been slight changes to our beloved emblem, such as changing the eagle from the crested eagle to the bald eagle and refining some details of the globe and the rope around the anchor. However, the overall body of the emblem remains the same.
Each part of the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor represents a special meaning. The eagle represents the United States of America, the globe stands for the Marine Corps’ readiness to serve at any part in the world, and the anchor acknowledges our Department of the Navy ties and traditions.
