If it absolutely, positively has to be destroyed overnight.

Our Ball was Friday night. Guest of honor was retired Coloel Harvey Barnum, Medal of Honor winner in RVN. The oldest Marine there was an Iwo Jima veteran (my wife cried). I was the second youngest Marine there. Great night.
Semper fi!

Establishment of the Marine Corps, 10 November 1775 This resolution of the Continental Congress marked the establishment of what is now the United States Marine Corps.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Resolved, That two Battalions of marines be raised, consisting of one Colonel, two Lieutenant Colonels, two Majors, and other officers as usual in other regiments; and that they consist of an equal number of privates with other battalions; that particular care be taken, that no persons be appointed to office, or inlisted into said Battalions, but such as are good seamen, or so acquainted with maritime affairs as to be able to serve to advantage by sea when required: that they be inlisted and commissioned to serve for and during the present war between Great Britain and the colonies, unless dismissed by order of Congress: that they be distinguished by the names of the first and second battalions of American Marines, and that they be considered part of the number which the continental Army before Boston is ordered to consist of."
