U.S. Marine Corps Birthday
The official birthday of the United States Marine Corps is on 10 November 1775. That was the day when the Second Continental Congress established the Continental Marines with the following decree:
That two battalions of Marines be raised consisting of one Colonel, two lieutenant-colonels, two majors and other officers, as usual in other regiments; that they consist of an equal number of privates as with other battalions, that particular care be taken that no persons be appointed to offices, or enlisted into said battalions, but such as are good seamen, or so acquainted with maritime affairs as to be able to serve for and during the present war with Great Britain and the Colonies; unless dismissed by Congress; that they be distinguished by the names of the First and Second Battalions of Marines.
Daylight Saving Time ends
When is the end of daylight saving time in 2025? Set your clocks back Sunday, Nov. 3.
Set your clocks back one hour at 2 am.
Daylight saving time was once known as ‘war time’
A March 2019 Department of Defense article mentioned daylight saving time was once known as “war time.”
When the Standard Time Act was signed into law March 19, 1918, daylight saving time became official. More daylight hours during the day would potentially help save energy costs during World War I. The law also established the time zones we know today.
The article states daylight saving time “was only in effect for about a year and a half, though, before it was repealed due to the war’s end, despite President Woodrow Wilson vetoing the repeal.”
Then, during World War II in February 1942, “Congress implemented a law instating a national daylight saving time to help conserve fuel and ‘promote national security and defense,’ which is why it was nicknamed ‘war time.’ The time zones were even known as that: Eastern War Time, Pacific War Time, etc.,” according to the Department of Defense.
