Two hundred and twenty-nine years ago, the United States Marine Corps was launched. Like all great concepts, it originated in a bar--Tun Tavern in Philadelphia to be precise. Happy birthday to Chesty Puller, Mills Lane, Drew Carey, F. Lee Bailey, Montel Williams, Gene Hackman, and FlynnFiles readers Lt. Ankrum and Corporal Swetz. A special happy birthday goes to my former brothers-in-arms serving in harm's way. They are celebrating November 10 in a unique, Marine Corps way.

Happy Birthday to you too, Dan. Although, you did leave off E-5M.

Can not forget Ted Williams, Lee Marvin, Steve McQueen, Zell Miller and another boxing ref Richard Steele.

Happy Birthday to both of us Dan.

Be well,

Sponge

I guess its a happy birthday for some. But not for others...I don't appreciate what the Marines did to me. I was running secret covert undercovers missions for the core back in 98. The missions had to do with phychological warfare on the children of my live in girlfriend. The missions were highly successful for me but not for johnny law or the core. They framed me and I was sent to prison and treated like another famous jailed soldier... the Col in Boogie Nights. Yeah I was raped. And that is why I don't like this day.

Sincerely,
