Hat off to you Polynikes. Thanks for your service.
Happy Birthday from an old squid. Oooh Raah!
Semper Fi brother, happy birthday.
Really enjoyed my days in the Marines. Seems like it was just yesterday, & at the same time? 1000 years ago too.
Thank you all for your service

Ditto. Much appreciated.
From an Air Force vet, thanks for all you guys do. I used to volunteer on the Flight line in Germany and we would transfer the combat casualties from the MEDEVAC flights to the Ambulances going to the hospital here. We also loaded the stablized patients who were being flown from Germany to the states. It was a very sobering experience and puts a lot of things into proper perspective. We complain a lot in the Air Force but life is pretty easy for us. You guys are true warriors and I am honored to have served beside you

A salute to all Jarheads, and especially my Brother Rick, he has been in the fraternity since 1974.

I'm Air Force, I have a brother who spent 6 years in The Marines, the rest of my family has served in either The Army or Navy, including my Dad who served in Patton's 3rd Army from Le Harve France to the Czech border.

I'll bet your pops had some great stories to tell.
@WCDawg I spent 11 years in the Marine Corps. I remember the generally good natured joke(s) that we took from the other services, including(but not limited to): that we all ate crayons regularly starting at an early age, rode on the shortest of short buses to school as kids, & each & every single one of us were all a bunch of “window lickers” too! Hahahahaha!!!
