What is the name of the Marine Corps mascot?

The mascot of the United States Marine Corps is named Chesty. This name honors the legendary Marine Corps General Lewis "Chesty" Puller, who is one of the most revered figures in Marine Corps history. The tradition of having a mascot dates back to 1956 when the first English Bulldog named Chesty was adopted by the Marine Corps to symbolize the fighting spirit and tenacity of Marines. Chesty the Bulldog represents loyalty, bravery, and steadfastness, traits that are highly valued in Marine culture. The name has since been continued with subsequent English Bulldogs serving as the official mascot, reinforcing the connection between the mascot and Marine Corps heritage.
