Just a reminder that tomorrow is the big day for all Marines and patriots who support the Marine Corps.

Here's to the old Corps and to the new Corps.

SEMPER FI!

Iron:
I guess I would be one of the "old MARINES" as I served from 1942 through 1946. Third Marine Div, Ninth Marine Reg. Weapons Company, Flamethrower. I really respect these young people that we now have in the Mid East. They are carrying the load for all of us.

Good evening and the very best to you and yours.

Semper Fi
Tommie

Well then, I’ll just have to e-mail a Happy Birthday USMC to my daughter, who currently wears the Marine uni. (She’s in Iraq at the moment.)

I had two great uncles, both of whom were decorated for their service in WWII. One was a Marine, the other a sailor. And of course, even in their old age, they still chided each other about their branch of service.

Even as a young boy, in confidence, the sailor said that he had a trump card which he could use, but rarely did, to get the goat of the Marine. And this he told me:

“Have you ever heard the twangy country song, ‘The Wabash Cannonball’? The music fits perfectly with the lyrics of ‘The Marine Hymn’.

The last time they got into a fist fight over it, they were both in their 70s. One of their wives remarked, “There they go again!”

MEGA DITTOS BUMP for the Corp! God Bless you all.

BTW: Indianapolis had to call in the Marines (Marine) in our Tuesday election.

A retired Marine Lt.Col, Greg Ballard, in typical Marine fashion, came in underfunded, under equipped, and with little to no support from his party establishment; kicked our two term, mega funded, mega backed dim mayor to the curb.

Semper Fi!
