Happy Birthday Marines

Happy birthday to all of my fellow Marines, past and present. Like so many great ideas, the U.S. Marine Corps was born in a barroom 230 years ago today in Philadelphia. On 10 November, Marines celebrate heroes recent and distant. In the spirit of Tun Tavern, I raise an a.m. toast to Marines in harm's way in Iraq, Afghanistan, and points beyond.

Certainly, the few and the proud.

Cheers Marines and cheers to all Veterans. Tis the season.

You can take my freedom, but you'll never take my pride.

Happy Birthday to all Marines, current and former, and especially to those on the 22nd MEU on its journey overseas.
