We were started in a Bar
Our "club" patch is 3 pieces
We all had to earn the privilege to wear it
We've never surrendered it
Nobody wants us around....until they need us
They've been trying to get rid of us since we were founded
We have to beg borrow steal, or get given everyone's discarded equipment
We have done, and still do more with it than anyone can
We are proud to belong to a small part of a large group
Only those who earn it can claim the title

Does that make the USMC the "original" 1% club?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARINES!!!!!

Happy Birthday to All of you. I lost my Dad last year and would always enjoy calling and wishing him well. He was a Great Marine. Lift one up to all of true Americans and S/Sgt E. K. Woodward.

Happy B-day. Had an uncle and a stepdad, both Marines. Was almost signed, but my mother told me she'd throttle me in my sleep if I did it and ever came home on leave. She was a serious
biker chick, she wasn't kidding. Did my time USAF.

Hey, an Army guy goes in country, and he says "Man, this is some **** ?."

A Marine goes in country and says, " Man, this is some good ****..."

Navy Seals go in country, and say, MAN, this is some GREAT ****!!!

Air Force guys go in country and say, "The cable is out? What kind of **** is this?"

Happy Birthday, grunts.

To all my fellow Marines, Happy Birthday.

A country's patriotism is not judged by how loud they sing the national anthem or how high they fly the flag. Patriotism is judged by how a country treats their warriors.
