The Marines are full of traditions, that's why the uniform has changed so little, compared to the modern style, the other services have gone to.
The design on the top of an officers cover, the swords, both NCO and officer, red "blood stripe" on the pant leg of the NCO and officer dress blue uniform. They all signify something in Marine Corps history.
