Semper Fi. and Happy Birthday fellow Marines.:D



  • Once a Marine, Always a Marine: This truism is now the official motto of the Marine Corps League. The origin of the statement is credited to a gung-ho Marine Corps master sergeant, Paul Woyshner. During a barroom argument he shouted, "Once a Marine, always a Marine!"MSgt. Woyshner was right. Once the title "U.S. Marine" has been earned, it is retained. There are no ex-Marines or former-Marines. There are (1) active duty Marines, (2) retired Marines, (3) reserve Marines, and (4) Marine veterans. Nonetheless, once one has earned the title, he remains a Marine for life.

On behalf of both my parents, dad 1936 - 1964 & mom 1943 - 1948, I'll be raising a toast. And to all the other Marines, Semper Fi!
 
In remberance of my father, Happy Birthday Marines. My father, Frank, lived the motto "Once a Marine always a Marine". He wanted me to join the Corps but an eye test deep sixed that idea.
 
Happy birthday devildogs!

GW. He is my grandson. He lays a bunch of coins on the table that I can't match, so I always buy. I hug him and tell him and his friends Thank You every day.
