it’s the Marine Corps birthday!

it’s the Marine Corps birthday!

they join knowing the risks, certain they will be the ‘first to fight’. they defined the standards of pride, honor, courage, esprit de corps, and military prowess. and baby, when you are in serious trouble, you want to see the marines!

so i’ll borrow a toast from former commandant of the Marine Corps, general louis h. wilson given at 203rd Marine Corps Birthday Ball at camp lejueune in 1978:

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”

happy, happy 234th birthday to america’s 911 force, the United States Marine Corps!

    “Hell, these are Marines. Men like them held Guadalcanal and took Iwo Jima. Bagdad ain’t sh*t.”
    -Marine Major General John F. Kelly

    “We signed up knowing the risk. Those innocent people in New York didn’t go to work thinking there was any kind of risk.”
