Today is the 235th Marine Corps Birthday

I'm in airports far too often, but I'm always pleased when I can pick up the bill for our servicemen and women.

I bet I picked up 12+ checks last week alone.

Thank you to all that served.

Too many people place hero status on overpaid and egotistical athletes, actors, and others of similar ilk.

The real heroes are those who serve our country, which certainly includes the Marines. And when bad sh*t goes down, like an earthquake somewhere in the world, who is usually the first there to provide help and assistance? The Marines.

Thank you indeed to all of our service men and women!

Oorah!

Airborne!!!

We had the Marines at the Club Sat night for a dinner dnace. Met many nice Marines and a few Navy that were there. Also bought a few rounds, and especially if I saw a purple heart ribbon.

Happy birthday

I picked up an old vet's check this morning; this was inspired by your gratuity. I received a proud smile in return as he continued on to the cenotaph.

Many time when I was flying a lot, I would send a drink to the serviceman [or lady]. Got big smiles from them. Then I noticed other folks also bought a few drinks too.

A little late, but for good reason. I was at a bar yesterday with another Jarhead doing what we did the best (most) in the Corps. Drinking. Ooh Rah!
