Where does the Devil Dog and bull dog Thin Red Line mascot come from? We’re glad you asked. In a decisive battle at Belleau Wood in World War I, German soldiers called the attacking Marines, the Teufel Hunden, meaning Devil-Dogs. Teufel-hunden were mountain dogs of German mythology, known for their dedication and fierceness. Because of the fearless nature of the breed - a dog that's literally Forged without Fear, the image took root and remains an awesome reminder of the toughness and resilience of the USMC to this day. 

The marines have a bulldog mascot forever named Chesty, named after Chesty Puller - the renown Marine warrior. Despite only being 5 foot 7, he was known for his bravery under pressure. Just a simple reminder good things come in small packages - just like these coffee mugs. Semper Fi!
