For the first time in all of sports, the Jacksonville Ospreys, in partnership with the Carolina Museum of the Marine, will host “Once a Marine, Always a Marine Night.”
This powerful tribute honors the men and women who have earned the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor — and those who continue to stand the watch today.
It’s a night dedicated to rekindling that unmistakable Marine Corps spirit:
The pride.
The grit.
The humor.
The camaraderie.
The unbreakable bond that never fades — no matter how many years have passed since a Marine’s last formation.
As we mark this historic evening, we will also recognize the inaugural year of the Carolina Museum of the Marine, opening in June 2026, preserving and sharing the courage, sacrifice, and legacy of Marines across generations. Their stories — your stories — deserve to be told, remembered, and passed on.
This won’t just be another game.
It will be a night you feel in your chest.
A night that reminds every Marine why “Once a Marine, Always a Marine” is more than a motto — it’s a lifelong identity. 🇺🇸
