I love the Marine Corps. Like they say, Once a Marine, ALWAYS a Marine. One of my favorite mugs to day is this Original rendering of the Marine Corps NCO Blood Stripe with a silhouette of the Marine Corps Eagle, Globe and Anchor. Another favorite mug is the silhouette of a Marine wearing a set of dress blues.
A little bit about the details and Marine Corps history:
This item pays homage to our beloved Marine Corps Dress Blues uniform.
Marine Corps NCO Blood Stripe, which Non-Commissioned Officers and above wear on their 
dress blues uniform. As tradition recalls, the blood stripe was earned during the Battle of Chapultepec, in September 1847. Marine officers and NCOs sustained an unusually high casualty rate during this battle. Centered and in the front you will notice a dark silhouette of the Eagle Globe and Anchor painted with pride.
There is no better symbol for the purpose we serve than the emblem every Marine earns: the Eagle, Globe and Anchor. The eagle represents the proud nation we defend. It stands at the ready with our coastlines in 
sight and the entire world within reach of its outstretched wings. The globe represents our worldwide presence. The anchor points both to the Marine Corps’ naval heritage and its ability to access any coastline in the world. Together, the eagle, globe and anchor symbolize our commitment to defend our nation—in the air, on land and at sea.
The Eagle, Globe and Anchor emblem has been part of the Marine Corps Uniform since 1868, and became the official emblem of the Marine Corps in 1955.
This item is proud to have been designed and made in the U.S. of A!
