Today is the 233nd Birthday of the United States Marine Corps, creayted by Congress on November 10, 1775, pre-dating even the Revolution and the founding of the country.



Semper Fi to all...

Thanks to all for your service. Here is my Marine on the way to the Ball. He stopped off at my daughter's and is holding his niece. I'm assuming he shaved his lip before actually going to the Ball. Can't figure out how to post the pic so here's a link:

I have to apologize to the United States Marine Corp. and also to all of the Leathernecks here on N.T.O.W.S.! My Friend Greg was right. I did forget the Corp Birthday but it was because I had a very busy, long day and it was not intentional at all. I'm damned proud of all of the Marines, especially the ones I was in combat with, and also tomorrow every military branch member there is.

Uncle Billy had the birth date right next to his chair: Marine Corp., 11/10/1775 and I had every intention of of broadcasting it because I knew Greg Meyer would pout and stamp his feet. 1775 certainly predated the Revolution but was 92 years after my direct ancestor died in James City Co., VA.. He wanted to go Airborne too but there weren't any airplanes yet?:lol:

Happy Birthday from me to the United States Marine Corp and my best regards to all of the marines on this site. All of you have my best regards



My Very Warm Regards, Uncle Billy

A belated Happy Birthday USMC!!! I spoke to a Gunny at the range yesterday who showed me his 1969 issued stacked leather handled Ka-Bar. I told him his knife was almost my age and he replied, "It's not the age of the knife that's important, but the life it's had, both saving and ending lives."



God Bless all you Devil Dogs!!
