The Eagle Globe and Anchor earned never given.... If youve never understood what it stood for here is the explanation.. Our emblem, our flag, our swords and our uniforms are symbols that represent our illustrious history and our elite warrior class. These symbols connect todays Marines to the entire lineage of warriors who have earned their place among the Few. EAGLE, GLOBE AND ANCHOR 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 uniform since 1868 and became the official emblem of the Marine Corps in 1955.
