Modern Warfare 2 is being released the same day as the Marine Corps Birthday. I think the developers chose that day because of it's significance but not everyone knows when the Marine Corps birthday is unless you are or were a Marine (or know a friend/family member that is a Marine or has worked with the Marines). ;D
"The United States Marine Corps traces its institutional roots to the Continental Marines of the American Revolutionary War, formed at Tun Tavern in Philadelphia, by a resolution of the Second Continental Congress on 10 November 1775, to raise 2 battalions of Marines. That date is regarded and celebrated as the date of the Marine Corps' "birthday"." from: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Marine_Corps
Thank you all so much for defending our freedom (this includes my late Grand Uncle John, my grandfather Herman (Army), my father who was also in the Army, my Marine buddies Tony, Eric ("Ramz-GM"), Matt, & Andy, and of course all of the men & women who have fought hard for this country!!!)
