Happy 234th to all the Marines out there, present and past, who have made the legacy of our Corps what it is today.  Especially, best wishes on this 234th Marine Corps Birthday to those Devil Dogs serving in Iraq or Afghanistan, writing new chapters of our glorious history.

A motivating message from our Commandant.

If the Army and the Navy ever looked on Heaven’s scenes,

They would find the streets are guarded by United States Marines!

Semper Fi.

    Beautiful, touching, and extremely motivating.

    Marine message reinforces the essence of being a Marine. Brotherhood, hardship, sacrifice and service. CNO’s message on the Navy’s birthday stressed peace and stability, food and shelter. Thats why Marines are WARRIORS and we are a global force for good.

    VERY WELL DONE MARINES. Happy birthday!!!

  • China’s Navy: Hey, let’s not panic… March 16, 2010

Put bluntly, U.S. Navy-folk need to remember there are a few other countries over on the other [...] […]
