Happy Birthday, Marines - 1 Day Late

I was nowhere near a computer yesterday, s I apologize for being late on the sentiments. In our history Marines have always cherished the traditions and ceremonies that make us different from all others. The stories of battles fought that set this nation on the course it took in it's early days and the ones that are beng written now by those that do what they are bid without question or discourse. These men and women that put themslves in danger, sacrafice everything and are proud to do it are the essence of our Corps and should be remebered in our thoughts and prayers on a daily basis. As the Commandant said in this year birthday address:
"- be proud of who you are and what you do....Cherish our families who offer marvelous suport, abiding resolve and steadfst patience. Remember those who have served and who have fallen..."
Happy Birthday Marines. Semper Fi.
