I paid homage in the Veteran's day thread so I'll just keep it to a Semper Fi. *Raises a glass to Chesty, Smedley, and all other Jarheads living or not.*
Happy birthday to the Marine Corps, and thanks to all who have served. My dad was a WWII vet, fought in the Pacific for 4 years. I appreciate all of our service men and women.
Happy birthday to the Marine Corps. My grandpa was a Marine during Korea 1951-53. He then re enlisted in the Reserves in 1954 til '57. I also have an uncle who's a former Marine and served during the late 80's.
To the Corps, Semper Fi! I have a real warm spot in my heart for the WWII Marine Corps vets, not many left. BTW, my daughter shares her birthday with the Marine Corps. Dad's proud, Grandpa would have been prouder.
