Happy 234th Birthday, Marines!

November 10, 2009, in Miscellaneous by

Today, our Marine Corps is 234 years old. This past weekend, I was privileged to attend a Birthday Ball with my Marine. After all these years, I am still affected by the presence of history and fraternity that is part and parcel of a Birthday Ceremony. From their birth at Tun Tavern to the current Long War, our Marines have a long and storied history. Bob Parsons of GoDaddy.com has a lovely tribute to the Marines and their history here.

I'm so proud of my Marine and all our Marines. It truly is a privilege to be associated with them. Happy Birthday, Marines!

About Marine Wife

Marine Wife is a former Army Brat who married her Marine in 1998, making theirs a mixed marriage. She has two Devil Pups that keep her on her toes and threaten her sanity daily.

But that might only be fair since Marine Wife just might hold the record for getting her husband called on the carpet. Hmmm....that might be why he now enjoys the fact that she never took his name.

While Marine Wife often wonders what it would be like to live at the same address for longer than 2 years, she enjoys all the adventures that life with the Corps affords. OORAH!
