Thank you for posting these facts about John Glover and the Marblehead Men!
However, I don't think that the Naval Special Warfare Command would agree that the Marbleheaders belong in the USMC lineage. NSWC has laid claim to Glover and his men as the antecedents of the Special Boat Squadrons.
Hmmm....
Thanx, but I am really not impressed w/whatever any stinkin' gub-mint entity thinx bout anything--fuggem!
