Happy Birthday, USMC!

[CoryKS]

On 10 November, 1775, my Marine Corps came alive. Happy birthday to all Devildogs past and present, and here's to another 231 years!

OOH RAH! Kinda ironic that the Corps was born in a tavern, eh? I'll add my happy birthday wishes to yours for all our brethren, past and present, in the Corps.

http://hqinet001.hqmc.usmc.mil/HD/Home_Page.htm Check out a little of the very rich history of my beloved Corps if you're interested. The old saying goes "Once a Marine, always a Marine" and I've found that, for the most part, that's true. Doesn't matter what era you belonged if you run across another former or current Leatherneck there's an immediate connection and the old comraderie shines through.

It's that time of year again. Happy birthday to all my Marine brothers and sisters, past and present. Tonight I will raise a toast to those currently serving worldwide to keep us safe, and say a prayer for their safe return. God bless you all, we love you. Ooh-rah!

Dang, Cory. I don't feel 232 years old! Semper Fi, Devil Dog!

1975, they demolished it.

Oh. Well, 200 years is a pretty good run for a tavern, I guess. But still.

So long as there is even one Marine wearing the Eagle, Globe and Anchor the Tun Tavern will live on.
