It is a pleasure to know that the Marine Corps is the oldest of the military services and it is also one of the most honorable in my opinion. May you have a blessed day and a very good week. Patricia.

The Marines have been around a long time, Bill, and all the good work they've done, serving their country is amazing. That you served with them is a credit to you and the Marines. Well done, my friend. :) Sandra xxx

Thank you for your service Bill!
Check out your post's title 1775!?! or 1975? If 1775 is indeed correct then add a note in your author section about that specific anniversary date (and its location).

Congratulations on a life spent better than mine. At that time, I was one year out of college, resigned the terrible teaching job I took, and was up to too much mischief.

Semper Fi Marine,
That was a nice birthday present for the corp. Not so sure boot camp is where you wanted to be. I was forced to go to many a Marine Birthday ball and some of them were fun and some of them weren't. I'm a Navy girl by the way. All I know is that boot camp sucked.

First semester of college for me at that time. I don't know how it could possibly be 50 years. We need to have someone double check that figure! Thanks for sharing.
