On November 10, 1775, the Continental Congress commissioned
Samuel Nicholas to raise two Battalions of Marines. That very
day, Nicholas set up shop in Tun Tavern. He appointed Robert
Mullan, the proprietor of the tavern, to the job of chief Marine
Recruiter -- serving, of course, from his place of business at
Tun Tavern. Prospective recruits flocked to the tavern, lured
by (1) cold beer and (2) the opportunity to serve in the new
Corps of Marines. So, yes, the U.S. Marine Corps was indeed
born in Tun Tavern.
