My first USMC Birthday as a retired Marine! Looking at all the pictures on the thread makes me wish I was still working with those young hard chargers...but there is a reason that the Marine Corps is a young man’s game.

I watched “She Wore A Yellow Ribbon” the other day and I sure got misty eyed watching Captain Brittles head out that gate. I guess I understand that movie more fully now.

Semper Fi, and Happy Birthday Canteen!

Thank you, and congrats on your retirement.

It’s a whole new world out here after hanging up the uniform.
