On November 10th 1775, Capt. Samuel Nicholas was authorized by congress to form two Battalions of Continental Marines. It is said that he did his recruiting at Tun Tavern in Philadelphia. Can you think of a better place to recruit fighting men? That day started a long and proud tradition of the United States Marine Corps. November 10th 2011, the United States Marine Corps will celebrate 236 years of proud and faithful service to this wonderful country.
If you know a Marine wish him a happy birthday.
Best quote about Marines comes from President Ronald Reagan in 1985 "Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference. The Marines don't have that problem."
If you get a chance today, please drink a toast to God, Country and the United States Marine Corps.
