My son who is a Marine had lobster and steak yesterday, and said the big meal is today.
Wish I was younger I would be joining again.
Happy birthday to the greatest fighting force known to mankind.
HA HA I love picture 9. Reminds me of when I wa sup in Parris Island a few months ago and seeing all the recruits being shouted at. As we left my wife said to my oldest boy that she feels sorry for them, to which my son said I don;t I had to go through that.
The Marines teach you respect, and the value of hard work, unlie some of these protestors last night who are just lazy no good for nothing layabouts.
Happy birthday, Marines!
Semper Fidelis,

Chesty approves this message....
PS. thank you for serving.
Deeply moved.
Had a talk with a young marine Infantry type last week, regarding ROE. He said they ended up loading up the local troops along side them with the heavy weaponry because they were the only ones allowed to fire in most cases.
I love the esprit, and the respect for the corps, but let’s make it more than lip service and fuzzy feelings. We need to agitate for these young troops—let the Bible back into the battlefield and let’s put the marines’ lives first once again. We owe them this.
Everybody fall out for inspection: Dress Blues, shower shoes, and a lite coat of oil.
Happy Birthday!
Give your son our regards. His generation of Marines has upheld our honor and maintained our fighting spirit as well as any other.
Thx ... back at ‘ya.
Happy Birthday, Brother! My first birthday ball was the 200th.
Semper Fi!
Do or die!
Ooh Rah!
Happy Birthday to OUR Marines!!!!
Semper Fi!!!!
I imagine changes in ROE will end ISIS immediately.
Especially as we will no longer be trying to knock down Syria.
Drain the swamps.
Happy Birthday, Marines.
You were, are, and always will be the greatest.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARINES!
