Marine Corp Birthday

Friday, November 10, 2006 7:54:58 PM

Today is the Marine Corp is 231 years young. I am doing this post because my husband is a Marine, my brother and 2 of my cousins. One of my cousins just came back from serving in Iraq.

Dave inspired me to do this post, he is a former Marine and proud as a lot of you know.

I personally think that most Marines are insane for joining voluntarily for one of the hardest jobs on the planet. My husband was actually a sniper, but I love the silent drill team. Video below.

The only decent sniper video that I could find.

Sarah,
While I'm waiting for the video's to load, I'd like to thank you for this post.

I'd also remind you that your hubby and I are Marines:D
No such thing as a former Marine:D
We earned the title for life.

We are just lazy and inactive.

Semper Fi:D

Kind of funny, when I was writing that the thought came to my mind that my husband would have something to say about me putting 'former' but if you knew me better, you would know that "once a Marine, always a Marine" only because they drilled that stuff into your brains at the tender ages of 18, poor guys.

You are so Sweet Sarah.

The Foundation of the Military is it's member's family.

Thanks for being there to provide that key element.

Awesome! Hope that your day is going good. I might have a Marine cake after dinner. Oh, that doesn't sound good.

Nothing wrong with a little celebration, right?

It is really cool that you did a post to honor the marines.
When my dad was a young man...before he married my mom, he was a merchant marine in Holland.
And ya know? I think wanting to serve your country is in your blood at a young age...my son Josh, is 13 and looks as if he is heading that way. He just thrives in the cadet program they have here. I am not too sure how I feel about that right now.

God Bless your brother, cousins & hubby for aiding in keeping our nation..well yours & ours a free one!

Ivy, thanks for stopping by.

Cheryl, ty and that is very cool history to have in your family
about your father, so it must be in yours son's blood to be
thriving in the cadet program.

Thanks for the God Bless.
