The 39th Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. Eric M. Smith, cuts the cake during a Marine Corps birthday ceremony at the Pentagon, Nov. 5, 2025. Traditionally, the first piece of cake is passed from the oldest Marine present to the youngest, symbolizing the passing of wisdom and responsibility onto the next generation of Marines. The ceremony took place in honor of the Marine Corps 250th birthday and included the marching of the colors, cake-cutting, reciting of the birthday message, and remarks by guest speakers.
