I would like to take this time if I may to say Happy Birthday to all of my brothers and sisters. I apologize that I can not be with you to celebrate our heritage, honor and comittment to each other. I’m no longer on active duty, but I do know that many of you overseas do read this post, so this is my way of getting together with all of you. No matter what the news may report you do have alot of support here at home and we wish you the best and miss you.
Like I said I’m no longer on active duty, I’m retired veteran of the Corps, and married to a Navy Seabee (retired), she loves the Marine Corps as much as we. Tonight at our table there will be an empty place setting to honor our fallen, missing, and all of those still serving. We will raise our glass to you tonight and continue our prayers for all of you.
I am proud to have claimed the title Marine, and we are all proud of you and pray for a safe return. For those who have passed, may you and Chesty have a peaceful rest.
Happy Birthday. Oohrah and Semper Fi.

Semper Fi ... hard to believe the one time I was the youngest Marine at the Ball was almost 20 years ago.

I have always loved this quote from Eleanor Roosevelt

“The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!”
