Happy 247th Birthday to the United States Marine Corps!

Happy Birthday to the Marines and to our favorite Marine, son David!

 Here is the message from the commandant this year.  Scroll down to watch a 10 minute movie about the Marines.    https://www.cmc.marines.mil/Birthday/
 

A few photos of David, some I've posted before.  He went in the Marines when he was 17.  Whew.

 

David as a new Marine.

David and I when he was about a year old.
