I too would like to add my best wishes to all those who served or are currently serving in our Marine Corps. My oldest son is currently serving, he and his group just returned from Iraq. I love them all dearly. They party hard but are some of the most admirable men I have ever met.

Happy Veteran's Day in advance to all those who served, whether on active
duty, the Reserves, or the National Guard - and to all the sons and
daughters, the wives and husbands, and the mothers and fathers who
themselves have served in their own way.
And for my beloved Corps, on this the occasion of their 231st Birthday, I
have three quotes (http://4mermarine.com/USMC/quotes.html):
1. The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the
filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of
animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!
Eleanor Roosevelt, First Lady of the United States, 1945
2. Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference
in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem.
Ronald Reagan, President of the United States; 1985
3. "Marines are about the most peculiar breed of human beings I have ever
witnessed. They treat their service as if it were some kind of cult,
plastering their emblem on almost everything they own, making themselves up
to look like insane fanatics with haircuts to ungentlemanly lengths,
worshipping their Commandant almost as if he were a god, and making weird
animal noises like a band of savages. They'll fight like rabid dogs at the
drop of a hat just for the sake of a little action, and are the cockiest
sons of b*****s I have ever known. Most have the foulest mouths and drink
well beyond man's normal limits, but their high spirits and sense of
brotherhood set them apart and, generally speaking, the United States
Marines I've come in contact with are the most professional soldiers and the
finest men I have ever had the pleasure to meet."
