I guess it WAS the waning hours of the 9th, but I remembered that we're on the far side of the globe, and it had been the 10th for almost half a day in Japan, and dawn was breaking in Afghanistan. Definitely didn't want to be late for those guys. :D
I had the pleasure of celebrating our birthday on Saturday with my reserve unit (4th CAG in Washington DC). I'm surprised by the number of Marines on this board!
Semper Fi & Happy Birthday to Marines past, present, and future, at home, abroad, and especially those of us in combat.
EDIT: Just realized its the 11th now on the east coast...Happy Veterans Day to our little sister services! ;)
We have a moderately military family.
Wife's grandpa - Marine in Korean War
Dad's brother - Marine
Dad - Air Force in Vietnam
me - Marine
Sister - Army National Guard in Afghanistan now
Brother - Navy
Proud to serve since '96. It is MY honor and pleasure.
i was in ramadi, iraq for the marine corps' birthday in 2008.
the base commander (marine colonel) brought my army unit enough beer for everyone to have a 6-pack. the USMC has had my unconditional support ever since :D
happy birthday, marines, and happy veterans day to all my fellow service members.
