Happy Birthday to all who are serving or have served in the Marine Corps. While I am career USAF both my father and father-in-law retired as USMC Master Sergeants, having served in WW II and Korea. One of my fondest memories is when my mother and father would leave for the Marine Corps ball and I would see my dad in his dress blues. My wife and I always take a minute to remember and honor our dads on this day and all the other men and women of the Marines.
Happy birthday and thank you for your service. My son is serving in the US NAVY.

Tomorrow bring Armistice / Veteran's Day, I will be thinking of my dad (USMC, Viet Nam duty) who passed last year. Having been raised as though we were in boot camp, I say thank you to one and all veterans for your service and sacrifices.

Happy Birthday Marines! I served 1986-2011.
Semper Fi Brother.
Happy birthday!!!!!
God bless the United States Marine Corps! I always thought I would do really good in basic training, then get killed within five minutes of actual combat. If you are a Marine, you are either in the fight or training to get there soon. I can't believe guys volunteer for that. But, I love you guys for doing it. As long as we are on the same side, I feel safe. Land of the free and home of the brave. Cheers.
