To the United States Marine Corps - tomorrow celebrating their 238th birthday. One of the premier assault forces in the world, the Marines have been engaged in every major conflict from the Revolutionary War to the operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. In addition, they are also the President's 'go-to' force to protect United States interests throughout the world - Tripoli, China from the early 1900's - 1941, the "Banana Wars" in Central America in the 1920's, Grenada in 1983, and many more. So, Happy Birthday to the Big Green Machine!!! And thank you to the men and women who proudly wear the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor.
"If the Army and the Navy ever look on heaven's scene, they will find the streets are guarded by the United States Marines"
And I cannot post about the Marines without including this video
