I need a fact or some information about the Marines that is so unknown, not even a Marine themselves would know about it. I need the fact and lots of details! Thanks in advance! Semper Fi!
USMC forces were the first to land and occupy a portion of Europe in WWII. In June of 1941 British troops pulled out of Iceland, and a USMC detachment replaced them. Iceland is technically part of Europe. We of course were not at war yet at the time, and would not be for the next 5 months.

An unknown fact, that even Marines don't know, would be unknown to all.

Marines will know this though.
The fact there is a Marine Corps museum is rather unknown.

I realise you meant the first Americans, I do apologise ;)
