241 Years Old Today
In 1775, at Tun Tavern in Philadelphia Captain Sam Nicholas received his orders to recruit men for the Continental Marines, as they were then called.

Now in their third century, the United States Marines continue to serve country and Corps with pride and distinction. (Today I recall one such Devil Dog, my friend Kurt, whose combat wounds led, in time, to his early death.)
So on this November 10, a big old Semper Fi to the men and women who wear the Eagle, Globe and Anchor. Accomplish the mission, be true to your unit, come home safe.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY U.S. Marines, from Canada! And Remember to thank a Soldier tomorrow. I might be working on something tomorrow, so THANKS, J.P!
Good for you.
Work well and wisely.
