Happy 231st Birthday
 

I don't have the distinction of being a member of your elite Corps, but I've been fortunate to know, work with and be inspired by more than my fair share.

Long life to the United States and success to the Marines.

There are several kinds of Marines.

The forlorn nevagonnabea Marine,

The wistful wishicouldabeena Marine,

And the imposing hellyeahima Marine.

Like Aim to Maim, I'm a damnproudtoknowa Marine.

For the record, there is no such thing as a usedtobea Marine. If you call a Marine a usedtobea Marine, you are quite likely to become a poundedintothedirtbya Marine.

Semper Fidelis, my brothers.

Happy Birthday Devil Dogs.
