When my oldest told me he was joining the United States Marines shortly after September 11, I admit I was scared to death. A year later my youngest did the same thing. 
Both of them have served our country and I could not be more proud. The freedom we have in this country takes on a different meaning for me since they have become Marines. The sacrifices that our armed forces make along with their families is great.
From the halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli,
We fight our country's battles in the air, on land and sea.
First to fight for right and freedom, and to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title of United States Marine.
Today marks the anniversary of the founding of the Marine Corp. Marines have fought in every major conflict on our nations history.
As Marines around the world celebrate the birthday of the Marine Corp today, please take a moment to think of them. If you know a Marine whether they are still serving or long retired please give them my thanks and please consider including the men and women in our armed forces in your prayers today.
If you are a marine reading this post, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your sacrifice may not always be acknowledged but I for one am dang proud of you and appreciate what you do for our freedom.
Happy Birthday, USMC. Semper Fi.
