To all my Marine brothers and sisters
I wish you a happy birthday on this great day in our Corps history.
245 Years of keeping the wolf from the door, and we are still doing it right. Every weekend for the last 11 years, I have a group of Marines come over to my house. They help me with my Military collection, and my house becomes a home to them.
One year I could not get a M35A2 to run, I had 2 Marines come over and they work all day on it. She was hard down. At the end, I told them, this nothing, we will get her running next week end. At that point one of the Marines looked at me and said," No, we are flying out to Iraq in the morning"...their last week end in the states, and they are helping me get a truck running...this was at the height of the Iraq war.
Do not let any one tell you todays Marines are soft, they are the same breed that took Iwo Jima.
Happy Birthday Marines!!.
One of the few, Frank USMC RET
