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 Americas 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 anchorthose who have answered the clarion call to duty with remarkable courage, dedication and unshakable resolve that Marines are so well known for. To all Marinespast and presentand 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 challengeswhatever they may beand reaffirm our pledge to be Americas 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

THE TORCH IS PASSED.
Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans - born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage - and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world. Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.
President John F. Kennedy

Happy birthday, devil dogs. Twist open the cap of your best Richard Hennessy cognac, and drink a salute to the Marines who never came back.
Semper fi, Marines.

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!
Must retire the 0500 Reveille approaches relentlessly the bugler already mounts the parapet. Will chat with you all on the morrow.
Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!
Godspeed our Troops around the Globe especially those in harms way by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!
