Blood Brothers? Ted Nugent was a feckin' draft dodger. He wouldn't make a pimple on a good Marine's @ss.
Semper Fi and happy birthday to all my real Marine brothers.

From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, all across America and in Iraq, Afghanistan and wherever America is being defended, the world’s most exclusive gun club is the celebrating its 233 birthday today.
Born in a roughneck Philadelphia bar in 1775 on a dare to surpass standard warrior excellence, the United States Marines Corps has distinguished itself over its history as the finest military force the world has ever seen. Do not point the US Marines Corps at anything you do not wish conquer. They are the pointy end of America’s spear.
The Devil Dogs are always the first to the fight. Looking at their battle flags fluttering in the breeze reminds of their bravery and warrior ethos. Battle streamers honoring their bravery in battles such as Belleau Wood, Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Saipan, Peleliu, Iwo Jima, Okinawa and Chosin Reservoir remind us of just a few of the famous battles they have fought and won.
Having spent time with Devil Dogs in Iraq and Afghanistan while on a USO Tour, it was abundantly clear that these men and women are the most determined, courteous and courageous people I have ever had the privilege of sharing time with. To the person, they all expressed their gratitude for being on the frontlines of the war on terror with their fellow Marines. It truly humbled me to see that level of camaraderie and Blood Brotherhood dedication.
They not only fight for America, but for each other. This is the definition of 'espirit de corps".

This morning I had the pleasure of seeing two companies of Marines surrounding the Iwo Jima Memorial. I was on my way to work when I witnessed this event.
It really set me up for a great Monday!
Semper Fi, Marines, and God bless all of you!
Happy Birthday Marines. To USMC Freepers past and present.
Thanks for your service with special mention to those who got ‘Murtha’ed and ‘JAGged’.
I’ve had occasions that I served with Marines, and aside from being a bunch of Jarheads, they were pretty decent folk. :)
I will hoist an extra one in your honor.
Dad was there.....Guadalcanal...Bougainville....
Semper Fi.
Bttt
From this retired USAF SMSgt who shares your birthday (proudly 52 today!!), Happy Birthday, Marines!!
Thanks Kelly.
The Marine Corps has survived for 233 years because it carries out the will of the U.S. President, without question or complaint, regardless of the human or materiel cost.
Semper Fi and Happy Birthday USMC!

Ted Nugent is so sharp ~ love his writing and his passion for America.
God Bless our Marines.
Can you pick out the Marine below?
Lee Marvin.
I think Eleanor Roosevelt said it best when she said, “The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!”
SEMPER FI bump!!
Son off to the Birthday Ball, cutting of the cake, reading of the Commandant’s letter — no matter where they are tonight, they are together - Semper Fidelis! Wherever you are my darlings hoist one for them what loves ya’ as we will for you.
Tribute honors Holocaust survivors and World War II veterans
