The acclaimed U.S. Marines, founded November 10, 1775, in Philadelphia, PA.

We, the US of A would have been toast without them.

I'm a proud grandma of a new Marine.  He's at Paris Island right now in boot camp.  He will graduate in December just before Christmas.

The Few the Proud. The Marines.

I miss hearing my husband sing "From the Halls of Montezuma" even though I would think to myself "not again" lol.

He was so proud to be a Marine.

Two hundred and forty nine years of service, sacrifice and defending our freedom!!!!  I salute all Marines, past and present for carrying on and keeping us safe!!!
