Thanks man! Was always a good time for me I got my USMC birthday on the 10th and my birthday on the 11th, Veterans Day. I guess, I was born to be a vet. [:)]

I'll raise a glass to that. I served alongside the USMC in Afghan in 2011/12. Made some good friends and met a lot of professional guys. I'd served with our 'colonial cousins' twice before, in the Balkans, and had been left a little un-impressed, but the US Marines sure take the business of fighting a war seriously.

Officers and their Ladies and Enlisted Men and their Women (plural pronounced wimen) Happy Birthday!

This is the correct militarily way to address a group.

Remember there is a right way, a wrong way, and the military way.

The United States Marines. We the unwilling doing the unnecessary for the ungrateful.

"And when he goes to heaven
To Saint Peter he will tell:
Another Marine reporting, sir;
I've served my time in hell!"

Epitaph for PFC Cameron, who died at Guadalcanal, 1942
