Greatest Toast Ever
I think on this 10 November, the occasion of the 238st Birthday of our beloved Corps, possibly I am overdoing it a bit… nah, our birthday comes only once a year. So celebrate, yes celebrate, not celibate.

Mr. Robert Dowdy
This summer I was selling some raffle tickets for my local American Legion Post when I met this gentleman that had joined our beloved Marine Corps on 9 December 1941. I remembered seeing him in a Veterans Day parade in 2012, but did not get the chance to chat with him at that time.
Happy Veterans Day

Two C-Rats A Day
November 10th, 1969. Lima Co., 3/26. That was my first Marine Corps Birthday. Don't know if it was yours. You were a 2nd Lieutenant Platoon Commander and I was a 81 mortar crew PFC. Hill 124 in Viet Nam and we'd just come off Hai Van Pass.
