Happy Birthday, Marines!

Still serving after 21 years and enjoying it.

I feel every bit of 241 years old due to all the mileage - LOL!

Of course, anyone who takes up an oath to defend us up to and including the giving of their life, and wear the cloth of the nation, and to go when and where ordered is deserving of our admiration.

My son-in-law and daughter were at the commandant's ball last night. I assume they had a great time as I have not heard anything from them.
