As I've mentioned before, I spent almost 10 years in the Marine Corps and was recalled after 9/11 to serve in OIF/OEF. The Marine Corps has a long history in our nations founding and continued growth. If you didn't know, the United States Marine Corps was founded on 10 Novemeber, 1775, as Continental Marines, in a place called Tun Tavern in Philidelphia.
So every November 10th Marines around the world celebrate the Birthday with a traditional cake cutting ceremony whereby the first two pieces of the cake go to the oldest and youngest Marines in the room. All us former Marines generally remember friends, places and the lessons learned during our time in what many around the world consider the most effecient expedtionary force. To all Marines both former and current I'd say Semper Fi
If you know a Marine, go up to them and say "Happy Birthday", trust me it'll mean alot.
