Today the United States Marine Corps celebrates its 232nd birthday, on November 10, 1775; the Continental Congress passed a resolution stating, "two battalions of Marines be raised" for service as landing forces with the fleet. This established the Continental Marines and marked the birth of the United States Marine Corps. The first Marines were recruited at Tun Tavern in Philadelphia PA. I’m thankful that I had the opportunity to go through recruit training at Parris Island in 1978 and serve in the USMCR. The things I learned there and the discipline helped me throughout my twenty plus year career in the active USAF.
A special birthday congratulations to my daughters boyfriend and his fellow Marines of Delta Company “OUTLAW” 2nd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, none of these men are POGS.
