The reason I blog...

"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and
keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh
your memory of these meaningful, significant things. Some of them may be funny.
Some may be of significance only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly
beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of
special experience."

Happy Birthday!!


Today is the United States Marine Corps's 233rd Birthday! I pulled this quote from this years message from the commandant:

"...Only a few Americans choose the dangerous, but necessary, work of fighting our Nation's enemies. When our chapter of history is written it will be a saga of a selfless generation of Marines who were willing to stand up and fight for our Nation; to defend those who could not defend themselves; to thrive on the hardship and sacrifice expected of an elite warrior class; to march to the sound of the guns; and to ably shoulder the legacy of those Marines who have gone before.

On our 233rd birthday, first remember those who have served and those "angels" who have fallen- our reputation was built on their sacrifices. Remember our families; they are the unsung heroes whose support and dedication allow us to answer our Nation's call..."

Just wanted Joey to know I was thinking about him today...and that I love him so much!

Happy Birthday, Marines! Semper Fidelis!
