Yes, Marines get Easter off, but only because it always falls on a Sunday. Like all Federal employees, U.S. Marines only get 10 Federal Holidays:

  1. New Year's Day
  2. Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr.
  3. Washington's Birthday
  4. Memorial Day
  5. Independence Day
  6. Labor Day
  7. Columbus Day
  8. Veterans Day
  9. Thanksgiving Day
  10. Christmas Day

And, if they are deployed to a combat zone like Afghanistan or Iraq, or serving aboard ship, they are required to perform their normal duties. When deployed, holidays are often overlooked or celebrated with less formality than when back home in the U.S.
