greenarmy1980 · July 11th, 2005

The objective was New Providence Island (Nassau) in the Bahamas, where a British fort and large supplies of munitions were known to be. With Captain Nicholas in command, 234 Marines sailed from Philadelphia in Continental warships. On 3 March 1776, Captain Nicholas led his Marines ashore, took the fort, and captured the powder and arms for Washington's army. For the first time in U.S. history, the Marines had landed,and the situation was well in hand.(http://marinecorpsbrotherhood.usmchq.com/custom.html)

So to answer could it be

New Providence Island (Nassau) in the Bahamas
3 March 1776
Commodore Esek Hopkins the fleet commander
Captain Samuel Nichols, the Marine Commander
Lieutenant John Fitzpatrick

03USMC, Sir, I didn't recieve a donation for that correct answer, Jacklyn H. Lucas.

03USMC · July 27th, 2005

This Marine Officer led a Detachment of Marines from the Washington Navy Yard/ Marine Barracks DC to retake an Armory in Virginia. During the Assault the Marines were Commanded by two officers of Cavalry US Army.

In the final assault this Officer of Marines attempted to stab the leader of the group that had taken the armory and failed.

For 25 Who was this Marine Officer.
For 15 Where was this Armory
For 10 who led the group that took the Armory.
For 20 Name the 2 Army Officers who commanded the Assault
For 20 Why did the Marine Officer fail to stab the leader of the group.

For 50. What Organization did the Marine Officer join later and what post did he fill.

Pete031 · July 27th, 2005

1. 1st LT Israel Greene USMC

2. Harpers Ferry

3. James Ewel Brown Stuart 1st LT U.S. Cav

4. Colonel Robert E. Lee USA and Major William W. Russel USMC??

5. The first figure to rise from the gloom as Greene rushed forward was that of Lewis Washington, an old friend. The Virginia aristocrat strode up to the officer, warmly took his left hand, then, pointing to a bearded man fumbling with a carbine, said, "This is Osawatomie." With all his strength Greene slashed at Brown with his sword. The first blow left a deep cut across the back of his neck; but the frail blade bent double on Brown's ammunition belt when Greene thrust at his heart, and John Brown was spared for the hangman.<25>

6. Declining appointment both as a lieutenant colonel in the Virginia infantry and as colonel in the Wisconsin militia, Greene accepted a captaincy in the fledgling Confederate States Marine Corps. As a major and Adjutant and Inspector of the Corps he served throughout the war at Confederate Marine headquarters in Richmond until his capture and parole at Farmville, Virginia, in April 1865.
