Old Corps, New Corps, it doesn’t matter. Once a Marine, always a Marine. Stand tall, and stand proud. To all my brothers and sisters, Semper Fi. God Bless.
@Old Corps Marine Easy there old salty one. First of all, Thank you for your service. Everybody knows that the Corps is nowhere near as strong as it used to be. But the men and women entering the Corps now, have no way of changing it back to the old ways. But we can still respect and appreciate the men and women, that not only serve in the Corps, but any of are Armed Forces.
@Okielawman Marines have been sacrificing their lives for this country, since the birth of the Corps. Back in the day, Marines fought harder than today’s Marines, but today’s Marine fight smarter. Then we have the units like MARSOC, and Recon, which I still believe, are a superior fighting force.
I dare any one of you "old Corps" Marines to badmouth a young man or woman who just earned the title of Marine to their face. It's a pathetic attitude that you've got if all you can do is diminish their commitment to our Corps and Country simply because things have changed since you were in. How the heck do you get off assuming you know how they will react in any future combat. Y'all are the problem for not supporting them. Semper Fi, Mac.
@Okielawman Sad that you think the young Marines are in for the benefits. When there were drafts in the past that forced people to fight. Sorry to burst your disavowal bubble, but the Marines in WW1 would consider you weak. The Marines of today will be fighting a different war then 20 years ago. Just like then Marines need to and will adapt to how we fight future conflicts. War will continue to change far after im retired and a mindset like yours disrespects past and future Marines who clench that Eagle, Globe and Anchor that they have fought and worked hard for.
It's really difficult to hear about Gunny he was a very strong force in my life for well over 17 years I have a secret birthday gift for you all of you Marines actually don't die they're either awake upstairs or downstairs I'm not a Marine but I saw God in his mighty angels and I was given a chance to stay longer even though I was diagnosed with a rare condition in 2002 daddy died in 03 exactly 6

of 3 I'm sorry that I had to give you a belated happy birthday I really emotionally couldn't do it I spent my time in the living room at the shadow box I don't understand society my previous comment would probably explain that better but I'm not one for attention just wanting to explain why it's belated because whether you know it or not I've always been there for you I was in early teenage wife we had a honeymoon lifestyle not a phase the only real discussion we had was that I refused a real diamond for my wedding ring nobody's going to be a peasant and dig for my diamond so they're will not

also was awkward about my birthday and loved how your birthday always was scheduled on mine 17 years how beautiful however it had a deeper meaning some of your faces may never grow old it wasn't about the dress it was beyond about the dress blues I understood that even as a young teenage we kept everybody in our home I cut their hair I took care of them they brought food I found a way I cooked it I wanted them to have a home they felt trapped in the middle of nowhere and I was happy I finally got to have my family I wanted my big family I always wanted I could not tell you Happy birthday on time

The toughest 13.5 weeks of my life were MCRD, California. I thought. Then Beruit, then came the mother of all wars. I got shot, blowed up twice and lived though the pain of loss of friends and my rehabilitation. My biggest challenge was yet to come, my devorce after 14 years of marrage. I'd rather be dragged though a field of mud and barbed wire than do that again. However you wouldn't know if you saw me today the hell I've walked through. Im a survivor, and I made it because God ordained it. I just kept gritting my teeth and persevering and made it too today, but not with out the strength, will power and fortitude I learned in MCRD California. Thank you Corps, thank you Chesty.

I am so happy they included the pictures of the Navajo Code Talkers from World War 2. They're one of the reasons I joined the Corps. "Were it not for the Navajo Code Talkers, the Marines never would have taken Iwo Jima." I am honored to be a Navajo and a Marine for my country. Happy 245th Birthday Marine brothers and sisters.

Happy birthday to all my fellow war dogs, SEMPER FI.. I love each and everyone of you, from the day they pinned the eagle globe and anchor on my chest. My heart and soul has belonged to the corps. I am retired now and much much older, and still my heart beats fast every time I hear the tune of marching feet and the site of our brothers and sisters in blue and gold. I still to this day sleep in a rack and find myself in my everyday work day, using Marine speak LOL much to the confusion and amusement of my fellow workers.it fills me with pride when a guest ask me over only to say to me , "your a Marine ? "I had the sister of a lady I was dating ask me one day why do you define yourself by you having been a Marine? and all I could say was I am sure you will not understand this but I do not define myself by me being a Marine , It has defined me ! It is not what I did it is who I am . Vietnam to Afghanistan 67 to 2004
I joined the Corps in 1964 to go fight Communism in Vietnam. How about our modern Marines fight against the Communism that has infiltrated society and government right here in America.

A better wording i think would be, you become a soldier, you become a sailor, but none of them becomes a marine. Meaning that the marines are the only branch where you become the actual name of the branch
I joined the Corps in 1982 and proudly served for 4 years my dad served during Korea and I'm proud of his service to the Corps as well, and now as the third stanza goes of the Marine Corps hymn he's guarding Heaven streets!

General Gray was the Commanding Officer of the 4th Marines at Camp Hansen on Okinawa when I was there Aug 74-Sep75. We were there about the same time. He rotated back to LeJeune I think. He was a great Marine.
Happy birthday to my beloved Marine Corps. My 3 years in the Corps were some of the happiest/most anger filled/ challenging/rewarding/enlightening years of my life. I think of the Corps several times a day and I still dream of it. Those I served with....so funny, so smart, dedicated,determined, selfless. I’ve never worked with a better bunch of......kids, really. Kids with responsibilities and capabilities that few men will ever know. I thank the Corps for building into me the values that have served me to this day. It wasn’t easy and that’s what was so great about it. I learned that my mental/intellectual/physical capacities were way beyond what I knew them to be. God bless the Marine Corps and my brother and sister devildogs. I love you all.

I am so happy they included the pictures of the Navajo Code Talkers from World War 2. They're one of the reasons I joined the Corps.
"Were it not for the Navajo Code Talkers, the Marines never would have taken Iwo Jima."
I am honored to be a Navajo and a Marine for my country. Happy 245th Birthday Marine brothers and sisters. Semper Fidelis.

Mmmm Thank you Brotherman! You among the fewest and the proudest for damn good reasons!!!🔥❤️🔥 Many blessings to you and yours.
Happy birthday to all my fellow war dogs, SEMPER FI.. I love each and everyone of you, from the day they pinned the eagle globe and anchor on my chest. My heart and soul has belonged to the corps. I am retired now and much much older, and still my heart beats fast every time I hear the tune of marching feet and the site of our brothers and sisters in blue and gold. I still to this day sleep in a rack and find myself in my everyday work day, using Marine speak LOL much to the confusion and amusement of my fellow workers.it fills me with pride when a guest ask me over only to say to me , "your a Marine ? "I had the sister of a lady I was dating ask me one day why do you define yourself by you having been a Marine? and all I could say was I am sure you will not understand this but I do not define myself by me being a Marine , It has defined me ! It is not what I did it is who I am . Vietnam to Afghanistan 67 to 2004
We defend this nation against all eneimies, foriegn and DOMESTIC.
Semper Fi! I know we all take the oath to support and defend the constitution very serious
Rah!
Till the day I die I’ll hold the line
Pray that they abide by their oath and will band together when refusing unlawful orders.
I joined the Corps in 1964 to go fight Communism in Vietnam. How about our modern Marines fight against the Communism that has infiltrated society and government right here in America.
To all the Marines out there,
Thank you for your commitment, your honor, and your loyalty.
You all risk your lives for our country everyday.
Happy birthday.
Semper Fidelis! ❤️

" I went and got Eli".... a person who goes after another human being that is being dragged away by the enemy into a forest is truly someone above and beyond, 99.9% of people would have stayed put out of FEAR, and you would never guess how brave and how much of a man he is by his looks. I truly will try harder to not judge people, his story, among alot of others, has shown me that you have NO IDEA WHAT A PERSON HAS GONE THROUGH in their life, so no JUDGMENT.

You become a Marine for eternity. SEMPER FIDELIS.
A better wording i think would be, you become a soldier, you become a sailor, but none of them becomes a marine. Meaning that the marines are the only branch where you become the actual name of the branch
Thanks for hanging in with us. Semper Fi.

U.S. Space Force? Or is it still USCG?
God Bless these brave people.
Still love Al Gray's Sniper birthday message though. Proud to have served under General Gray.
General Gray was the Commanding Officer of the 4th Marines at Camp Hansen on Okinawa when I was there Aug 74-Sep75. We were there about the same time. He rotated back to LeJeune I think. He was a great Marine.
Proud also to have served under Al Gray and P.X. Kelley

Happy birthday to my beloved Marine Corps. My 3 years in the Corps were some of the happiest/most anger filled/ challenging/rewarding/enlightening years of my life. I think of the Corps several times a day and I still dream of it. Those I served with....so funny, so smart, dedicated,determined, selfless. I’ve never worked with a better bunch of......kids, really. Kids with responsibilities and capabilities that few men will ever know. I thank the Corps for building into me the values that have served me to this day. It wasn’t easy and that’s what was so great about it. I learned that my mental/intellectual/physical capacities were way beyond what I knew them to be. God bless the Marine Corps and my brother and sister devildogs. I love you all. We are the few...............Semper Fidelis Dave Heitman, Sgt. 19 months in Vietnam.
