20 March 1779 - A Few Good Men Quote #OTD in 1779, Captain William Jones advertised the need for "A FEW GOOD MEN" to enlist in the Marines. Over 200 years later, during the 1970s and 1980s, the phrase showed up in the recruiting slogan "The Marines are looking for A FEW GOOD MEN." And the rest is history. Anyone join the Corps with that slogan in mind? Visitors to the Museum can see the 1970s and 1980s recruiting posters in our Making Marines gallery. VIDEO: A 1970s recruiting video for the USMC
