    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    Happy birthday Marines!
    Best friend I ever had was a DECORATED KOREAN WAR MARINE, sadly he is now deceased!!

    Y'all are a day early, but I'll let it slide.

    November 10th 1775 Congress authorized a company of Marines.

    A bit. The Second Continental Congress established a company of Marines under LT Presley Obannon on Nov 10th 1775. It was actually a company but 2 battalions were actually authorized by Congress. Tun Tavern was the name of the actual place.

    We did all the Navy's dirty work. Still do. They originally used to shoot from the masts. That's where the officer's quatrefoil comes from on their covers. It was two pieces of rope crossed and sewn onto the top of the cover so the Marines didn't shoot their own officers.

    And not knowing THAT, is NOT an option, Sergeant Major. Might as well just jump in the drink and get it over with.

    If you noticed I said it with a sense of humor. I appreciate your thanks and even knowing when the Marine Corps Birthday is. ANY Marine could tell you THAT. And if you want a fight on OUR birthday? You better bring some shit cuz screwing up our lousy sheet cake just ain't going to go.

    Oh ... and to all my brothers and sisters .. Happy Fucking Birthday. Now get you tiny little asses back to work, you fukkin slackers.

    And in case y'all don't know, they invented Veteran's Day just so Marines could recover from the Birthday Ball on the 10th.

    You know, the last time I was in Germany and saw a man standing above everybody else, we ended up disagreeing.
