HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARINES and a

[MARINEVET]

Snappy Hand Salute to ALL VETS!!!

I realize there's a forum for Marines, and I'll try to post a special note (my "Annual Birthday Message") there, but just want to wish all Devil Dogs around the Globe a Happy 231st Birthday.

I hosted a rather informal get together in our work area hooch wherein we crammed about 30 folks for a Cake Cutting Ceremony...good time had by all. Am trying to attach a flick or two of that event.

While I was the Oldest Marine Present...it was "My Party" so I passed that honor to a "young" Active Duty MGySgt who came thru Injun country to attend...the first piece of cake went to him...second piece to the Youngest Marine Present...a former Marine who is now a Nat'l Guard LT.

So HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARINES, and a very special thanks to ALL MILVETS for their service to our Great Nation! Veterans' Day is a very Special Day, and without your service, we'd be speaking something other than Amurkun...!!!
