shivermetimbers -> Happy Birthday USMC! (11/10/2008 3:09:13 AM)

To everyone, if you know a United States Marine, make sure you tell them Happy Birthday today as the United States Marine Corps celebrates it's 233rd birthday. 

Keep them in your prayers, your hearts, and if you get a chance, molesticate each and everyone of them men and women who serve with honor to God, Country, and Corps.

From the Halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli.
We will fight our country's battles, in the air, on land, and sea.
First to fight for right and freedom,
And to keep our Honor clean.
We are proud to claim the title,
of United States Marine.

Our flag's unfurled to every breeze,
from dawn till setting sun.
We have fought in every clime and place,
where we could take a gun.
From the snowy far off northern lands,
and in sunny tropic scenes.
You will find us always on the job,
the United States Marines.

Here's health to you and to our Corps,
which we are proud to serve.
In many a strife we've fought for life,
and never lost our nerve.
If the Army and the Navy,
ever looked on Heaven's scene,
the will find the streets are guarded,
by United States Marines!!


OOOOOO RAHHHHHHH DEVIL DOGS!!!!!

Thank you for this reminder!
 
As many know, my son is on Parris Island as we speak (well - type). I will send him a birthday card.
 
*BTW- he says he is doing fine physically and that most of Boot Camp is hurry up and wait. He tells me he lives from chow to chow- the DI's must let them eat, and occasionally, sleep. Today is the written test (day 24).

Congrats from a sailor on another year.

Happy Birthday USMC.  I have a very special Sgt Major in the Marines.  OOOH RAH  Makes me shed a tear of pride and joy when I see anything about the Marines.  God Bless and keep it safe Marines.

You know we LOVE our "Devil Docs".  And with a brother who's a retired chief, a mother who was in the first class of women in the signal corps, I have a soft spot for the "swabbies".

Please tell him thank you, and as with all the men and women serving, who have served, and will be serving, I say a prayer for each and everyone of them, and their families.

A sincere thank you for your very special Sgt. Major, and your pride for all Marines.

[sm=candles.gif]  Happy Birthday USMC, from yet another former sailor, who also happens to own a former marine. (yes there have been moments of power struggle..lol)

May all who have served know their efforts, and losses are remembered each day.

We could just as easily command the seas to part for us in the name of Chesty Puller, but that would just be too cocky!!!




theobserver -> RE: Happy Birthday USMC! (11/10/2008 8:44:28 AM)

As a former member of the US Army, I salute the Marines!

Although you jarheads sometimes scare me. *lol*

May the ghost of chesty puller and smedly butler and the owners of tun tavern smile upon the weakening of today's marines. They can't yell at them, curse at them nor touch them anymore...allegedly.




Sundowner -> RE: Happy Birthday USMC! (11/10/2008 10:55:16 AM)

 



As a former Brit Army bloke, congrats to the Marines (and strength to all who serve their countries); funny isn't it - if you haven't been there (or you don't have a loved one who has) you don't really get it, this service thing.

And 233 years eh? I'm ashamed to say I don't know how long our Army's been around, though it's quite a while; but over 200 years is good in anybody's book.  [sm=smile.gif]



Edited to say that although I haven't fought anyone for years (apart from in the threads of course) I still hold the Queen's Commission. Never leaves you does it.
