This is a picture of my son Brian at the recent USMC 238th Birthday Ball. He is stationed at Camp Pendleton.

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.
Happy Veterans Day

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.
The chap in the first attached photo is me… "richard" taken two days ago.

A Special Dinner For Me
I joined the Marine Corps in December of 1958, went to MCRD San Diego. On November 10, 1959, I was aboard the USS Paul Revere for my first Marine Corps Birthday, and my 18th birthday. Here is the menu of what we had that day, the menu was also a postcard which I sent home. I told my parents the Marine Corps found out it was my birthday and made a special dinner for me.
