U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Major Marinica Ariton, the sergeant major of Recruiting Station Raleigh and the oldest Marine present, shares a slice of the ceremonial birthday cake with the youngest Marine during the 248th Marine Corps Birthday Ceremony in Greenville, North Carolina, Oct. 28, 2023. During the cake-cutting ceremony, it is tradition for the youngest and oldest Marine to take a bite of the ceremonial cake, symbolizing the passing of traditions from one generation to the next. Marine Corps units hold birthday celebrations every year to reflect on the traditions, history and legacy of the Marine Corps. (U.S. Marine Corps Photo by Sgt. Brandon Salas)
