At least one active member of this board will soon be celebrating an anniversary of sorts next week. Any guesses?
Anyone that has had the honor to attend a formal Marine Corps Birthday celebration will not forget the tradition of honoring the longest serving Marine and introducing the most recent recruit to the Corps.
I was once privileged to be included at a Military Ball on the Corps' Birthday, and pledged at that time I would carry on as best a former U.S. Army type could.
So to you Marines, past and especially current: I toast to your service, your Corps, and the debt we all owe you.
Now do we HAVE to drink grog from that commode ?
You can drink to all other services the following day. But in keeping with tradition, the Marines get there first. |

Jarheads and grasshoppers...those are my topics.
NOT that they belong together, it's just I have to remind everyone that ONE board member here, has a Marine Birthday today... and you know who you are!
The rest of us get tomorrow for us "normal" veterans.
I get a free carwash if I show my DD 214 tomorrow ! |

I joined this board yesterday so I don't think you are talking about me but.......... I did attend every birthday ball in the 9 years, 6 months and 28 days that I served in the USMC. I was at Parris Island on 10 November 35 years ago. Ohh Rahh Happy Birthday to my fellow Marines. |

It is not me....like Jerry, I was Army. I think I know who it is. ??? I think this person did a tour of duty in Viet Nam if my memory is still any good.
A big thank you to all the Veterans out there. |
