I’m thankful that there are still brave men, such as yourself, who are willing to march toward the sound of the guns to protect us, our children and our freedoms.
Thank you, Beach Farmer.

The second greatest armed forces in history! Laughing smiley

Seriously though, much respect for all the Marines do. Wouldn't want to live in a world without you.

But... Go Army

Happy Birthday to the Marines and here's to another 247 years. A friend of mine who was a Marine died last month. In the 25 years I worked with him, he exemplified the motto, I'm proud to have called him a friend. Saw this video and thought Beach Farmer and others here would appreciate it today and tomorrow. Never forget and always keep your eyes along the skyline.

Saying thanks to individuals who have done, or are willing to do voluntarily, what I would not doesn't seem to do justice for the gratitude I feel for all of you. Thanks to each and every one of you.

And by the way Farmer, when was the last time you were that 'clean'? Kidding of course!

I spent '75-'77 as a Navy Lt. at Camp LeJeune straight out of Dental School. Made many good long time friends both Grunt and Squid. Best memory was 1976 Carib float to Veagus PR, followed by the 4th of July in teh NY Harbor.
Would not trade those 2 years for anything.
