Marine Corps Ball Gifts

The United States Marine Corps was created on November 10th, 1775. Every year on November 10th, a traditional party is held to commemorate the occasion. The event typically consists of dancing and a traditional cake-cutting ceremony. There is also a tradition of gift-giving at the Marine Corps Ball. Typically, gifts are given to the host of the Ball, whether it is a small, local affair, or a giant gala. If the event is large, Marines typically chip in funds for a gift that may be for the local Commander, or the local Marine base. For smaller gatherings, Marines typically buy an individual gift for the host.

  1. Vintage Uniforms

    • One of the most commonly exchanged gifts at a Marine Corps Ball are vintage uniforms. They are typically presented to the highest-ranking Marine present at the ceremony. Over the years, the Marine Corps has seen many revisions to its uniform standards, thereby making it simple to distinguish time period and era for each individual uniform.

    Coins

    • Every branch of the military has its own unique coins. The coins typically feature the Marine Corps logo. The coins are often handed out as a congratulatory gesture for a particular job well done. Also, Marine Corps officers have the most elaborate coins. Officer coins are also the most rare, which make them the most valuable. The gift of an officer coin at the Marine Corps Ball is an excellent idea.

    Medals & Pins

    • The Marine Corps has a variety of medals and pins for different achievements within a particular command. Over the years, collectors of these pins have traded and exchanged them on austere occasions. To present a comrade with a medal or pin, especially if it is vintage, is a good gift for the Marine Corps Ball.
