232 year OORAHS!

I was in MASS-1 (Atlantic Nomads) in 1976 and MASS-2 (Pacific Vagabonds) in 1977.

Semper Fi and all the best to present, former, and “on guard” Marines!

Here’s a good catchup site;

When I meet someone who is anti military, my response is my tagline.

“Freedom is not free, but don’t worry the U.S. Marine Corps will pay most of your share.”

Civilian Semper Fi salute here!

In 2005 the U.S. Mint produced this commemorative coin celebrating the 230th anniversary:

Coache’s Saloon, Lancaster Ca. will once again be where I will party tomorrow with my brother and sister Marines. We have bagpipers that come and play our Hymn. Semper Fi.

Let us hope the present PC does not effect the over all spirit and mission of the Marines. It would be a horrible thing to come to past.

Great photo spread - Thanks!!

Is that one (#11?) the front hatch on the old Marine Receiving Barracks at the Yemassee, SC train station?

It sure looks familiar.

Happy Birthday Marines.

I ran into many of our brothers at GOE 1 and 2, and many of those who could not make it are commemorated on the Wall.

I haven't cried over our brothers for a long time, but this weekend, with the Birthday and Veterans Day, it's not an embarassment to remember them. In God We Trust.....Semper Fi

Thanks for the ping, Race. Thanks to you, all who have served, all who are serving, and all who will serve in the future. America’s finest!

It sure is! Taken on December 11, 1977, my one day of Base Liberty.

Thanks Sarge.

I wouldn’t be here today if not for U.S.A.F. air-support...even if we did call air-strikes on ourselves on more than one occasion...those damn maps! LOL
