JerryD, Orvet, & others: Thanks for your service!

Now can I have some cake?

x2...thanks for your service to this great counrty all....

Mike, they don't really mean it. They're just here for the cake and the beer.

Me, 313Mike, Orvet, Treefarmer, chet1200c, cooker, dalton0302, DAO1964, mtds, rayban and even though he only came around for a short time, Top. Did I miss anyone? That's almost enough for a squad.

Happy 237th.

Semper Fi

Devil Dogs, shock troops, blood sucking war machines,
Ready to fight, ready to kill, ready to die but never will,
Marines make the blood flow, blood makes the grass grow,
Semper Fi, Do or Die, 1,2,3,4, United States Marine Corps!

That's a great one Devil Pup. I stole it for one of my email signatures. Thanks.


Before I forget my manners, thanks for the recognition Blue. Do you have the free meal list for tomorrow & Monday?

Thanks Blue!

Happy Birthday Jarheads!


In remembrance; lest we forget those who didn't make it home-
Caution: your eyes will leak.
Marine's Final Salute

Addendum:

Here is a great version of the Marine’s Hymn with bagpipes.

This version of the Marine’s Hymn is not as nice but the video is awesome!

I had not heard this before, Trace Adkins; Semper Fi

Good song, and I am not a country music fan.

Uncle Sam's Misguided Children. Without them the Army wouldn't have anyone to trade insults with.

Happy USMC Birthday to all the Marines here!

I thank those of you who dedicated your energies, blood, sweat, tears, and lives to make this the greatest country on earth!

Mega Steel Sahlute!

A toast.



Today's the day
I'll raise a glass
To you and all my brothers
Drink hearty lads
A loud hoorah
For Chesty and all the others
237 years
A hand salute
Finger tips to covers
Don't you wish
Your Dad had been
Married to your Mother?

Baby Marine
“Here’s a little story I like to tell
If you’ve heard it before that’s just as well.
I was talkin to my papa on his death bed.
With a smile on his face this is what he said.
Now the day I came out of my mothers womb
I found myself in the delivery room
All bloody and wet I repelled to the floor
Cut the cord and crawled through the door.
I knew then I was a baby marine
The baddest darn baby you had ever seen.
I had camouflage diapers and black baby shoes.
A butter knife sword and baby dress blues.
I wore three safety pins on my shoulder for rank.
I had a humvee stroller and a tricycle tank.
I showered up and dressed I marched through the ward.
Saluting all the nurses with my butterknife sword.
I heard some wimps just cryin like heck.
I rushed right in and yelled “”Attention on deck!!!”"
When they said aye aye sir I had it made.
The first commandant of the baby brigade.
Papa laid back and then he died.
I bowed my head but I didn’t cry.
Now this little story I like to tell ‘Cause papa’s in command of MARINES IN HELL!”

Excellent Mike.

There's another similar one we use to sing that I can't remember all of for the life of me....something about "Nine months later, out they came...twin Devil Dogs just a swingin' a chain!"

Ring any bells....?

No but I celebrated my first Marine Corps birthday, 50 years ago today.

Jerry, You are senior Dog...you've earned your spot on the porch.

Mike, I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Sincere congratulations to all for your service and your branch birthday.

Thanks to all who served!!!! It's good to know that you men were there when it mattered.

Semper Fi Marines , Oorah
And thank you
