As Marines you may have have seen small murals in your Company or Battalion HQ with the inscription [paraphrased], "To those who have fought for it, freedom has a special flavor that those who have never fought for it will never know."

I reflect on what I consider my "sweetest" MC Birthday every 10th of Nov. I was in Somalia and had been eating MRE crap forever. The ship flew us out a hot meal of steak and corn on the cob. God I remember it as being one of the best meals I ever ate, and I dont really know why.

A buddy of mine sent me a postcard from Somalia made from an MRE carton he cut with scissors (MRE - Meals Rejected by Ethiopians), I still have it. I was on CV-63 then, so my meals were pretty decent. "Eagle, Globe and Anchor...Marine Corps Tanker!!", Happy Birthday and Semper Fidelis to all my fellow Marines!!
