It is reason to at least hoist one in memory of all who have served and are serving.

As well as to all Veterans- God Bless and thank you.

Actually, I need to push the send button a little quicker. I did my due diligence with the search functions at about 8:00.

But the Marines really deserve more than just a single thread.

Not I, but my best friend is.

My older son and I are planning to see "Flags of our Father's" tonight.

It looks good and seems appropriate.

Just a little Marine Corp History on this auspicious occaision.

A friend stationed at 8th and I sent this note:

Tun Tavern, Philadelphia, November 10th 1775,

Captains Nicholas and Mullens, having been tasked by the 2nd Continental Congress to form two battalions of Marines, set up the Corps' first recruiting station. The first likely prospect was, in typical recruiters fashion, promised a "life of high adventure in service to country and Corps", as an extra bonus if he enlisted now he would receive a free tankard of ale. The recruit gladly accepted the challenge and, receiving The free tankard of ale, was told to wait at the corner table for orders. The first Marine sat quietly at the table sipping the ale when he was joined by another young man, who had two tankards of ale. The first Marine looked at the lad and asked where he had gotten the two tankards of ale. The lad replied that he had just joined this new outfit Called the Continental Marines, and as an enlistment bonus was given two tankards of ale. The first Marine took a long hard look at the second Marine and said, " it wasn't like that in the old Corps"

Happy Birthday Marine!

I didn't know who would get the 'Old Corps' reference. Things were always tougher in the old Corps, you know.
