Heartfelt thanks to all that have served our country. Well done Marines and Happy birthday!
What a great picture! Great way to commemorate your Dad’s service!
Thanks! And he was also a huge Dawg fan. He and I attended the TAMU and GT games together in 1980 while I was a student there.
What a great memory for you! My father was a huge GT fan …played for them as a freshman before going off to Korea . Came back , married my mom, had me, went back to GT, got his degree in ‘62, and raised me to be a GT fan till I saw the light! 🤣
Thanks for sharing ! Always great to hear Dad stories!
Happy birthday USMC!!!
Thought about the birthday this morning and feel kind of sheepish as I forgot to remind my veteran buddies from the other branches just what day it was (most already know).
My son is in the Air Force. They had their birthday a couple months ago. I sent him a happy birthday message and he had no idea what I was talking about. It's not a thing in the Air Force. It's not really a thing with any of the other services. Only the Marines celebrate their birthday.
Yeah the Marines take their birthday seriously. When I was on active duty at Camp Pendleton, I pulled guard duty and circled, for two hours with a locked and loaded M14, a giant birthday cake.
