As I write this my Nephew is on the last 20 minutes of the Crucible at Parris island ,the final exam before becoming a Marine ,the Warrior breakfast will be served shortly.
Happy Birthday Marine Corps.!!
Contgratulations to your nephew. You must be proud of him.
“It’s simple,” Kelley said. “A superbly trained and motivated Marine, one fortified by 230 years of enviable history and tradition.”
"Therein lies the Corps’ most important asset: the philosophy ingrained within each Marine. Some might call it brainwashing. Best-selling author Tom Clancy referred to it as Marine Corps “magic.”
Congratulations to your nephew! What a day to become a Marine!!!!!!! My last Marine did so on the anniversary of the victory at Iwo Jima.
My 'birthday' gift today will be welcoming two Marines 'home' for the long weekend!! Giving them a taste of home is nothing compared to just being able to be in the same room with them.
God Bless the United States Marine Corps +
