Semper fi back at you, Doc. All Marines, tonight hold your glasses high and drink to our heroes - Chesty, Smedley, Lew, Dan, Manila John and all the others who shed their blood for our freedoms. May their sacrifice not be in vain.
Semper fi
Do or die
I remember a corpsman in war games in prep for the first desert war. He came over to our fighting hole and sat down and started talking to us. I said hey why dont you come down here and talk to us.
He said “I am ok here”.
I replied to him “not unless you want to be the first one dead, Come down here and look where you are sitting”.
He came down and turned around. Then he said “Oh my god you can see the out line of everything”.
He was sitting on the crest line of the hilltop with a full moon behind him.
I am glad he knew battle aid cause he didnt know tactics haha.
Thanks for looking out for us.
Happy birthday Marines from an old Army retiree!
Always enjoyed attending Marine Corps Anniversary Balls back in the day.
Happy Birthday, USMC! Semper Fi! And prayers for the safety of all.
Happy Birthday Marine.
Semper Fidelis to All Marines!
