Happy Birthday to the United States Marines Corps!!

To all gyrenes/jarheads/leathernecks - past, present and future, today the Corps is 232 yrs old.



"There are only two kinds of people that understand Marines: Marines and those who have met them in battle. Everyone else has a second-hand opinion." Unknown


"Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference. The Marines don't have that problem."
PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN, 1985


Marine Corps Hymn

Verse One​

From the halls of Montezuma To the shores of Tripoli’ ,
We fight our countrys battles In the air’, on land, and sea.
First to fight for right and freedom , And to keep our honor clean,
We are proud to claim the title Of United States Marines.

Verse Two​

Our flags unfurl’d to every breeze From dawn to setting sun’;
We have fought in every clime and place Where we could take a gun.
In the snow of far-off northern lands And in sunny tropic scenes,
You will find us always on the job - The United States Marines.

Verse Three​

Here’s health to you and to our Corps Which we are proud to serve;
In many a strife we’ve fought for life And never lost our nerve.
If the Army and the Navy Ever gaze on Heaven’s scenes,
They will find the streets are guarded By United States Marines

goodnight Chesty, where ever you are.


Semper Fi.
