A little early, I know, but with all the troops deployed you might want to start sending "Your special Marines" their birthday greeting early so they will reach them afield by 11/10.

U.S. MARINES
ROUGH, TOUGH, ROMPIN', HELL RAISING, DEATH AND DESTRUCTION.
THE FINEST FIGHTING MACHINE THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN.
EACH MOMENT THAT I LIVE IS AN ADDITIONAL THREAT UPON YOUR LIFE.
I'M COCKY, SELF-CENTERED, OVERBEARING, AND I DO NOT KNOW THE MEANING OF FEAR FOR I AM FEAR ITSELF.
"SEMPER FIDELIS" ALWAYS FAITHFUL TO GOD, FAMILY, COUNTRY, AND CORPS.
SEMPER FI - DO OR DIE.
I AM A LEAN, MEAN, GREEN, AMPHIBIOUS MONSTER MADE OF BLOOD
AND GUTS WHO AROSE FROM THE FIERY DEPTHS OF HELL, WHOSE
SOLE PURPOSE IN LIFE IS TO PERPETUATE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION
UPON THE FESTERING OF ANTI-AMERICANS THROUGHOUT THE
GLOBE, WHENEVER, WHEREVER IT MAY ARISE.
AND, WHEN MY TIME COMES I'LL DIE A GLORIOUS DEATH ON THE BATTLEFIELD, GIVING MY LIFE FOR MOM, APPLE PIE AND THE AMERICAN FLAG.
WE STOLE THE EAGLE FROM THE AIR FORCE, THE ANCHOR FROM THE
NAVY AND THE ROPE FROM THE ARMY.
ON THE SEVENTH DAY WHILE GOD RESTED, WE OVERRAN HIS
PERIMETER, STOLE THE GLOBE AND WE'VE BEEN RUNNING THE
WHOLE SHOW EVER SINCE.
WE LIVE LIKE SOLDIERS, TALK LIKE SAILORS, AND SLAP THE HELL OUT OF BOTH OF THEM.
WARRIORS BY DAY, LOVERS BY NIGHT, PROFESSIONALS BY CHOICE,
AND MARINES BY THE GRACE OF GOD.
SEMPER FI

And anyone who thinks that our conflict with the
cutthroat cults of islam is a recent phenomenon
is invited to study the lyrics of the Marine Corp
Hymn, and then research the events that gave
rise to the the phrase
"shores of Tripoli"
being present, and when those events occurred.

Outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Semper Fi.

When I was a Marine, the order of precedence was "God, Country, Corps, Family."
All depends on who's giving orders & when,,, :-)
Semper Fi
For all of you!:

Semper FI!
HOORAH! Semper Fi!
Marines may die, but through the Corps, they live forever.
Marines may die, but through the Corps, they live forever.
Beirut 1983, Rest In Peace
Major Macroglou, Captain Bill Winter and the 239 other Marines, sailors and soldiers murdered that Sunday morning.
Americans have an opportunity to give them a real birthday present on Tuesday at the polls. Let's hope they do it.
Marine Bump!
