Yea, Happy Birthday to 200K plus or minus brave men and women, past and present and future!

Gunny Ermey was on the USS Makin Island on Gunny Time last night...  He, the Navy and Marines get to play with the coolest stuff...

Happy birthday Marines. Why is it no one acknowledges the Army's birthday?

Maybe the army is more humble than the marines and don't need recognition.  ;)

Maybe it's because the Marines just do the job and let others like Eenor Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan sing their praises instead of being jealous of other services.
