Got to say, I've served with some great Marines and have a couple in my family (father & little brother). I' m not a Marine (Air Force) but am very proud of the Marine tradition & values. Semper Fi

"IN HONOR AND MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS WHO HAVE GIVEN THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY SINCE 10 NOVEMBER, 1775" - inscription on the USMC War Memorial in Washington, DC.

Happy 236th birthday, Marines.

"From the halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli,

We will fight our Country's battles, in the air, on land and sea.

First to fight for right and freedom, and to keep our Honor clean;

We are proud to claim the title of United States Marines.

"Our flag's unfurled to every breeze,

From dawn to setting sun;

We have fought in every clime and place

Where we could take a gun.

In the snow of far-off northern lands

And in sunny tropic scenes;

You will find us always on the job -

The United States Marines.

"Here's health to you and to our Corps

Which we are proud to serve;

In many a strife we've fought for life

And never lost our nerve;

If the Army and the Navy ever look on Heaven's scenes,

They will find the streets are guarded

By United States Marines." -- Hymn of the U.S. Marine Corps

OO-Rah.  Semper Fi, Marines.  Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

A big Happy Birthday to the Corp.  SEMPER FI  MARINES  !!!!!!!

From a Corpsman. Happy Birthday. Semper Fi.
