The U.S. Secret Service used its official social media platform on March 11, 2026, to recognize Marine Infantry Day and highlight former Marine infantrymen now serving within the agency.

In a post published at 17:35 UTC, the agency stated: "Happy Marine Infantry Day! We are proud to honor the Marine infantrymen within our ranks like Special Agent Todd, who continues to serve his country with the Secret Service.

A subsequent message at 18:00 UTC featured another agent's experience: "Happy Marine Infantry Day! The Secret Service is proud to stand alongside the 0311s within our ranks who never stopped serving. Meet Special Agent David, who served as a Marine infantryman in Afghanistan in 2011.

If you are an 0311 separating from the @USMC, you can continue https://t.co/y1Z4SuAab0".

At 18:30 UTC, the agency highlighted another staff member’s transition from military service: "Happy Marine Infantry Day! The Secret Service proudly honors the Marines within our ranks like Regional Security Specialist Eric, who carried his infantry standard into a new mission.

Marine Infantry Day is observed annually by current and former members of the United States Marine Corps’ infantry community. The U.S. Secret Service has historically recruited individuals with military backgrounds for roles that benefit from their training and experience in security operations and protective services. The referenced posts also invite Marines transitioning out of active duty to consider careers with the agency—a common practice among federal law enforcement organizations seeking personnel familiar with high-stress environments and mission-focused teamwork.
