Re: Happy Birthday Marines! 247 years
A little known factoid. Didja know?? -- “Throughout the American Revolution, the Marines served with distinction aboard the Continental vessels, but with the ending of that conflict, the entire Naval Service was so neglected through lack of appropriations and necessary legislation that by 1785 it actually ceased to exist.”
A naval Quasi-War with France prompted an act of congress on July 11, 1798 that reestablished the Marine Corps. The military branch formed from this act continues to exist today, continuing to distinguish itself as one of the finest fighting forces in human history.
Happy Birthday all you Jarheads. Semper Fi my brothers.

This country has become more about sub-groups than about it's unity as a nation.
