SEMPER FI

Happy birthday to the United States Marine Corps. For 230 years these soldiers of the sea have fought America's wars in the nastiest places. Their exploits have secured their place in history as one of the greatest and most respected bands of warriors ever to take to the field of battle. Many happy returns. Here is the Commandant's birthday message.

UPDATE: From NRO by a Marine veteran of Vietnam. Read it.

Hey, LB buddy, I don't care what you, the
GOP, or any other idiot has to say about the birthday of the world's finest fighting force. As we say, "Long live the United States, and success to the Marines!". GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS!

From the Marine Corp Hymn:
"...if the Army and the Navy,
ever look on Heaven's scenes,
they will find the streets are guarded
by UNITED STATES MARINES!"

Happy Birthday to all Marines, past and present; Thank You, and God Bless You..
