Yep still fighting off the hangover from the Ball this weekend! Semper Fidelis Brothers and Sisters! Happy Birthday!
The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps! Eleanor Roosevelt, First Lady of the United States, 1945 and The wonderful love of a beautiful maid, the love of a staunch true man, the love of a baby, unafraid, have existed since time began. But the greatest of loves, the quintessence of loves. even greater than that of a mother, is the tender, passionate, infinite love, of one drunken Marine for another. "Semper Fidelis" General Louis H. Wilson Commandant of the Marine Corps Toast given at 203rd Marine Corps Birthday Ball Camp Lejueune, N.C. 1978 Tomorrow my granddaughter has me as a guest to her classroom I am more afraid of those moments to come than I have ever been in my past life kids. God I love her OOHRAH!!!
The 4 years that I spent in the Marine Corps sure changed my life for the better. I still show my USMC tattoo that I got in 1973 to everyone with a huge amount of pride. Semper Fi. Plumber 1
85-91 MCRDPI Camp Lackland LAFB SAT 3rd MCB OKI Detachment 1 FLK Ready to fight; ready to kill. Ready to die but never will. Drill Instructors hit and scream. Their only goal to make Marines! Goodnight Chesty; wherever you are. Happy birthday, brothers.
Happy Birthday to that much humbler part of the NAVY. Just think from a startup meeting in a tavern to one of the most storied and honored military brotherhoods.
Ya, the Marines are part of the Department of the Navy. The MENS department. Ooo Rah! Glenn 1968-1970
Spent some time in the GATOR Navy ferrying you guys around but the scariest Marine I ever met was day one in San Diego. We were met at the airport by a "lady" Marine with an unreal attitude. Think of every D.I. you ever knew of combine their worst attributes and you would have created this Marine. Have to say "The MENS department" almost sounds gay. Anyway hope you guys had a great birthday.
