ESPN’s SportsCenter broadcast live Friday from Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island in honor of Veterans Day.

Nov. 10 also is the day the U.S. Marine Corps celebrates its birthday — it’s 242nd this year.

Anchors Jay Harris, Sage Steele and Randy Scott, whose father was a two-star admiral in the U.S. Navy, broadcast from an outdoor set in front of an audience of Marine recruits.

The Parris Island Marine Band was featured, and the broadcast also showed Marine recruits’ training.
