Marine Corps Birthday

Recommended Posts

F'n A! Happy B-Day!

U.S. Marine Corps Hymn

From the Halls of Montezuma
To the Shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
of United States Marine.

Our flag's unfurled to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun;
We have fought in ev'ry clime and place
Where we could take a gun;
In the snow of far-off Northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes;
You will find us always on the job--
The United States Marines.

Here's health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve
In many a strife we've fought for life
And never lost our nerve;
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven's scenes;
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.

Ah-Ten Hut!
Attention on Deck!

"Some 231 years ago, on November 10, 1775, the Continental Congress ordered the raising of first and second battalions of Marines. Born to raise hell from kicking pirates' ass off Naval vessels to acting as the tip of the spear for American foreign policy, the United States Marine Corps embodied the finest in American fighting spirit. The Corps embodies spirit, teamwork, discipline, revelry, sacrifice and tradition. All rise! To all thee hear yee presents greetings! On this day, November 10th, in the year Two thousandth sixth, we raise our glasses, cans, goblets, canteen cups, paper cups, coffee cups and fake glasses and hail "Happy Birthday Marines! Long live the Corps! Semper Fi!"
