The FReeper Canteen Celebrates.....

Marine Corps' 236th Birthday Message and Video

For ten years now, our Corps has been engaged in continuous combat operations against those who threaten the security of America and our allies. We turned the tide in the Anbar province of Iraq and continue to see success today in southwest Afghanistan. While it has come at a cost … we have much to be proud of.

This past year in operations around the world including humanitarian disaster relief, counter-piracy, theater security cooperation, special operations, counter-insurgency and many more, you continued to solidify our place as America’s expeditionary force in readiness. Since the Continental Congress created two battalions of Marines 236 years ago, our legacy as an ever-ready, ever-capable, victory-producing organization remains intact.

Our rich heritage of selfless service and fidelity to Nation and to one another lives on in all who currently wear the eagle, globe and anchor—those who have answered the clarion call to duty with remarkable courage, dedication and unshakable resolve that Marines are so well known for. To all Marines—past and present—and especially to our families … I extend my deep gratitude for all you have done and all you continue to do.

As we celebrate our 236th Birthday, let us look forward to future challenges—whatever they may be—and reaffirm our pledge to be America’s premier crisis response force; to be the first to fight ... always ready for the toughest and most challenging assignments.

Happy Birthday, Marines, and Semper Fidelis!

James F. Amos General, U.S. Marine Corps Commandant of the Marine Corps

Thanks for the update. I’m glad you’re not getting any rough stuff.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hurrah!!! I am at work and have internet!!!!

Internet went out last night about 1:30am, not 30 minutes after I emailed tonight’s thread to myself. As of leaving for work this morning, still no internet. I tried to use my iPad, but no connection. BUT....my iPad guru here at work told me what I needed to do the next time. I didn’t turn WiFi off so AT&T would connect. He has the same home provider and his went out as well. It is a relief to know that it is not just me.

Connie....per usual, I did send you the thread code “just in case”. d:o) I’m leaving early today, so will be home instead of here at posting time. I will call home later to see if the internet is back up.

[AZamericonnie]

What???? Leaving work early? Shocked I tell ya!:)

Got the code....hopefully you’ll have internet, call if not.

[AZamericonnie]
