🎂 About the Ceremony

The cake-cutting ceremony is a 250-year-old Marine Corps tradition that honors our history and those who have served.
During the ceremony, the oldest Marine present receives the first slice of cake and passes it to the youngest Marine present, symbolizing the continuity of experience, knowledge, and brotherhood through generations.

This Minnesota ceremony is part of the national 50-State Cake Cutting Initiative, marking the Marine Corps’ 250th year of service to our nation.
