In a reunion laced with military tradition, 200 current and former Marines and officers gathered to hear about the history of the Corps, which was founded in 1775 at a Philadelphia tavern, and to discuss more contemporary challenges facing Marines in Iraq.

The investment has made Alinghi a favorite to win the elimination rounds and challenge New Zealand for the Auld Mug, as the America's Cup is known.
