I just want to drop this in here and wish my United States Marine Corps a very happy and proud 244th Birthday. I am so very proud to have served my Corps as a Woman Marine in those years following the Vietnam war. It wasn't easy. They say that "the hardest steel is formed by the hottest fire", and this is how we were made into U.S. Marines at Parris Island, SC. I still have my original U.S Marine Corps collar emblems, along with my weapons (rifle and pistol "Expert") badges in a small wooden box. I will one day be buried with them.
So my most sincere and heartfelt Birthday greetings go out to my Sister Marines, as well as all other Marines who have worn the uniform, earned The Title and still carry that Marine espirit de corps and camaraderie in their hearts. Happy Birthday to us all!!!!
OOOOOOOOO RAH!!!! 
Semper Fi,
~Theo~
