The Marine Corps Rose
In 1778, during the War of Independence, a rose was placed on the graves of Marines who made the Ultimate Sacrifice for their country. This tradition was continued by the French during World War l when roses were planted, by the grateful French people, on the graves of the Marines who lost their lives during the “Battle of Beleau Wood”.
