To all of you jarheads who have been there on that wall on our behalf: Happy Birthday, and Semper Fi!

God save the Corps, and all who serve there.

It is also appropriate to quote here the only pistol-totin’ First Lady we know of:

“The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!” – Eleanor Roosevelt


Pistol-totin? You didn’t know?
