Lieutenant Presley O’Bannon led Marines against the pirates’ fortresses at Tripoli and Derna and would capture the iconic Mameluke Sword which remains the Corps’ officer’s sword.  In the War of 1812— America's second confrontation with Great Britain— Marines continued to serve with the Navy on the seas and fought determined battles on land at Bladensburg and New Orleans.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e250th Anniversary Commemorative Coin Series: Each coin highlights a pivotal era in the Corps’ rich heritage, honoring the valor, traditions, and legacy that have defined the Marines for centuries.
