To my brothers and sisters who server with me or before me I want to wish all of you happy birthday. What a honor it was to server with all my fellow brothers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
It is the 235th 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 once said.

I'm Army but I respect and honor the U S Marines
Yes ! You guys do have great dress uniforms...
The History:
During the American Revolution, many important political discussions took place in the inns and taverns of Philadelphia, including the founding of the Marine Corps.
A committee of the Continental Congress met at Tun Tavern to draft a resolution calling for two battalions of Marines able to fight for independence at sea and on shore.
The resolution was approved on November 10, 1775, officially forming the Continental Marines.
As the first order of business, Samuel Nicholas became Commandant of the newly formed Marines. Tun Tavern’s owner and popular patriot, Robert Mullan, became his first captain and recruiter. They began gathering support and were ready for action by early 1776.
Each year, the Marine Corps marks November 10th with a celebration of the brave spirit which compelled these men and thousands since to defend our country as United States Marines.

Happy birthday to our sister service.
btw, it's great what plastic surgeons are doing now a days, you can barely make out the lobotomy scars. Sorry couldn't resist getting in a little inter-service jab. All in fun though.
Semper Fi, devil dogs.
