Did you know that the Marine Corps is actually nearly a year older than the "USA"? 1775 vs 1776. I found that pretty interesting that we would have a "US" Marine Corps before we had a "USA".

I trained with the Marines as a Naval volunteer for landing parties, during the Vietnam era, it was the toughest training I ever had but I enjoyed (almost) every minute of it! Here's to the Marines!!!!

Happy Birthday Leathernecks. So glad they let you shed the leather stocks that gave you your name. A ridiculous thing that came, God help us, from the British Army to keep everyone's chins up so they wouldn't be looking at their feet while marching at the enemy.

Just a side note, the Cub Scouts were giving thanks and a US flag to veterans entering the clinic. These simple gestures are great to any vet. -----Willy
