My [former Jarhead] brother went to lunch at the Semper Fi Association in Boston today - 1,500 in attendence.
And every year I send him the same joke:
A young man walks into Tun's Tavern on the morning of November 10, 1775. He is congratulated on being the Corps' second recruit.
After being sworn in, he's told to wait in the next room, where he finds another young man.
Recruit #1 asks, "You just sign up?" to which he replies yes.
"Son," says recruit #1, "Pull up a chair, and let me tell you about the Old Corps."
Happy Birthday, Baby Brother!

Thank you to all. It was a nice evening talking about the "Old Corps". Hope all my fellow Devil Dogs on the site enjoyed their birthday are safe.

A NO S*** Birthday Story:
On a Marine Corps Birthday many, many years ago, while on recruiting duty, I was invited to share some libations with the Marine recruiters, whose office adjoined the Army office. Suffice to say, all had a good time. On my way home (yeah, I shouldn’t have been driving), I was stopped by a Deputy Sheriff. The Deputy asked if I’d been drinking and where I had come from. I told the Deputy yes, I ‘d been drinking while celebrating the Marine Corps birthday with Marine recruiters. The Deputy asked me some more questions, and then told me to lock up my car, and get into his patrol car. Believe me, I thought I was going to jail, instead the Deputy turn down the street where I lived and stopped in front of my apartment. “Sergeant, “ the Deputy said, “I was a Marine in Vietnam and I thank you for helping celebrate my Corps birthday, good night.”
Happy Birthday Marines

OOH RAH! I saw a young Devil Dog in uniform and told him Happy Birthday and congratulations.
Go with God, but make Him walk the point.

Brian, my brother worked for seven years in Saudi Arabia - a dry country, right? But he was always invited to the Embassy for the USMC Birthday, where they all endeavored to lap up a year's supply....
