Thank you for being a United States Marine! Hoorah!

"Good Night Chesty .......wherever you are" !!!!
A very happy birthday to all members of the "Naval Infantry" past, present and future !
 
As a former member of an associated British unit that were initially formed in 1664, 'Per Mare Per Terram.' I have had the pleasure to assisted in, and been invited to previous USMC annual celebrations, and happily raise a glass to this day.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday

To all who shall see these presences...Thank You for the Birthday Wishes!



On 10 November 1775, Captain Samuel Nicholas formed two battalions of Continental Marines at Tun’s Tavern in Philadelphia as naval infantry in accordance with a resolution of the Continental Congress. They were to "be able to serve to advantage by sea when required" and "that they be distinguished by the names of the first & second battalions of American Marines."



No better friend: someone who will kill to protect you; someone who will give their life for you; someone who will be right there in your times of trouble and, thinking of you and your problems, will sacrifice so that you might get through your problem.



No worst enemy: someone who will not hesitate to destroy you even if that means destroying himself in the process; someone who will chase you down to the ends of the earth to extract revenge; someone who will cause you blood and tears and smile when it happens.



With a Marine as your friend, you have a person who will kill to protect you. With a Marine as your enemy, you have a person who will kill you. Pretty simple, huh?


I guess that sums it up pretty good!

Fact or Fable I don't know. But I like the way it reads!
