Happy Birthday Marines!


Happy Birthday number 234 to all the U.S. Marines! Semper Fi!


I have had a notice of this day on my calendar for two weeks and still did not do a special post and look up some great photos of the Marines at the Embassy when we were in South America. I will have to point to my post of last year.

And here is a quote from Gene's daily posts from and about Marines.

Freedom is not free, but the U.S. Marine Corps will pay most of your share.
..................................... Ned Dolan, Capt. USMC

Be sure and check out the post today by Michael Fay, Marine Corp Artist, for a video of the 2009 Marine Corps Birthday message. He is also retiring.

And the other Marine Corps artist whose blog I follow, Kristopher Battles has a post up, too.

Happy Birthday Marines! And a big Happy Birthday to our Marine, David!!!

Whew, just visited the link and watched the Marine Corps Birthday message, and after wiping away a few stray tears, I'm ready to sign up for the Corps! Semper Fi!

Hi Susan, great Marines, eh? Thanks for the visit.

Kristopher Battles said...

Cool art, cool blog, with videos!

I'll have to steal that idea and put some art videos on my combat art blog!

Awesome.

I love the pears, too.
