HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARINE CORPS

Happy Birthday Marine Corps


This Day In Naval History - November 10

1775 - Congress votes to raise two battalions of Continental Marines, establishing the Marine Corps.

240 years carries a lot of history...  The Marines helped us win our war of independence in 1776.  Their next major action came 25 years later during the First Barbary War (1801–1805). 

Why the US went to war against the Barbary states is an interesting piece of history that has repeated itself...

For the CH'ers who got fast-sticked, i.e., short changed in history during school...  see the following link for the details...

You love lots of things if you live around them. But there isn't any woman and there isn't any horse, that’s as lovely as a great airplane. If it's a beautiful fighter, your heart will be ever there

And I HUGGED a Marine and wished him a Happy Birthday. Well actually I hugged 2 Marines.. but both needed a hug ..  Smiley

Both gave over 20 years of service.

And then it was Veteran's Day and I hope we all hugged a Vet or two.. And said "Thank you"  Kiss

Batch, I've been away from CH dot com for too long. On behalf of my sons I thank you most graciously. Proud of the history of the Corps, and my two sons who have and are adding to its history.
