Happy 235th Birthday....

To the United States Marine Corps.
Past and present, active duty and reserve, stateside and deployed around the world.

On this day in Marine Corps history: In 1775, the Continental Congress authorized the creation of the Marine Corps, and it's been 235 years of showing the world why the Marines are the best ever since.

"The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!"
~Eleanor Roosevelt, ...1945
"Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they've made a difference.
The Marines don't have that problem."
~President Ronald Reagan.
