Posted by: Echo5Bravo on November 10, 2008 06:56 PMI googled USMC. Didn't know it meant the Marines. I watched the Silent Drill Platoon on YouTube.
Wonderful! Even better in real action. Of that, I'm sure.
Happy Birthday. And thanks.

Posted by: patrick on November 10, 2008 08:48 PMI'd like to share one small anecdote that happened earlier today.
I was participating as a member of the Faculty Advisory Board and we had 3 new members come aboard.
As they introduced themselves, and we went around the table, they were sharing where they earned their PhD and sharing other titles and honors and the like.
When it came my turn, I said simply:
"There's only one title that I'll claim ... that of United States Marine."
By way of saluting and honoring My Marines everywhere today, I'll now shut up. :)
Happy Birthday, Marines!

Wonderful idea. Happy Veterans'Day to all of you, and the memory of my brother, added to Patrick's father.
Gentlemen: To you!... À la vôtre!...

Posted by: Eric on November 11, 2008 09:15 AMMy grandfather's cousin was a Marine who served in the Pacific and Korea (he fought at Chosin). For his service, the service of his fellow Marines, and the service of all those who served and sacrificed and continue to do so I'd like to say a sincere and heartfelt thank you.
