Happy Birthday you Marines.

As a Navy man I am pleased to shout out.

Happy Birthday to all of you Marines.

We are as a Nation, beholden to you.
Thank you for your service.

“There are only two kinds of people who understand the Marines: Marines and the enemy. Everyone else has a second hand opinion.” Gen. William Thornson, U.S.Army

"Alone among the U.S. military services, the Marines have bestowed their name on their enlisted ranks. The Army has Army officers and soldiers, the Navy has naval officers and sailors, the Air Force has Air Force officers and airmen—but the Marines have only Marines." Gen. William Thornson, U.S. Army

Only the Marines can you put them in a ships boiler room. Swing them in hammocks strung from bulkheads floor to ceiling. Ship them 7,000 miles across the sea, dump them overboard into open landing craft and deliver them to a beach where they hit the sand ready to fight the enemy and not the people that delivered them to the beach.

God bless the Marines.
