Today is the 234th birthday of the Marine Corps. Its a big deal to Marines. Tonight a few Marines and I are going to the Marine Corps Leauge to drink beer with the old timers. Its crazy because I guess Im a old timer now to some of the new Marines. But anyways here is a letter I was sent to me and thought I would share it with everyone.
What Is A United States Marine?
I am 234 years of romping, stomping, hell, death & destruction.
I am the finest fighting machine the world has ever seen.
I was born in a bomb crater.
My mother was an M-16 and my Father is the Devil.
Each moment that I live is an additional threat upon your life.
I am a rough looking, roving soldier from the sea.
I am cocky, self centered, and overbearing.
I do not know the meaning of fear for I am fear itself.
I am a green amphibious monster made of blood and guts that arose from the ashes of my enemies, festering on anti-Americans throughout the globe.
When ever it may arise and when my time comes, I will die a glorious and grotesque death on the battlefield, giving my life for the Corps, Mom, and Apple Pie.
I stole the Eagle from the Air Force, the Anchor from the Navy and the rope from the Army.
Then on the 7th day, while God rested, I overran His perimeter and took over the Globe and I have been protecting it ever since!
I live like a Soldier, talk like a Sailor and slap the shit out of both of them.
Father by day, lover by night, drunkard by choice and...
MARINE BY THE GRACE OF GOD ALONE!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARINES! SEMPER FI!
