Ruby Tuesday
This sign hangs in the National Museum of the Marine Corps at Quantico, VA outside the dining area at the museum. It commemorates the birth of the Marine Corps on November 10, 1775 at Tun Tavern, Philadelphia, PA. A committee of the Continental Congress met at the Tavern and drafted a resolution for two battalions of Marines who could fight for independence on sea and on shore.

My nephew would like that sign, he served proudly in the marines.
Very cool! There's something I didn't know.
Wow, not just a cool sign but a history lesson to boot. Well done.
Interesting sign & history, like the barrel effect
