Happy Birthday U.S.M.C.

To all you Marines out there, Happy Birthday!!!
I have a personal attachment to the Marine Corps, my father, grand father, great grandfather, and great great grand father. All Marines, and my sons are Marines. It is the family business.
So all you guys and gals happy 231, and thank you.
Capt fargon BM-2 USCG '76-'80

Semper Fi! (If I may, being a non-military type.)

So fargon, how did you end up in the Coast Guard instead of the Marines?

My daddy was a Marine...never saw battle. He was stationed in Hawaii when they were filming South Pacific, and has a slide pic of Mitzi Gaynor walking down the street. He always kids she had a thing for him. And was he ever handsome in his dress blues!

Happy Birthday Marine Corps

After 18 years of Marine Corps living I wanted to do something else.
