Marine Corps Birthday

Happy birthday to the United States Marine Corps, and blessings to all the men and women who faithfully serve and swear to uphold the United States Constitution defending our American Liberty and Freedom.

One Marine Corps birthday I'll never forget was 1959.

On a Wednesday morning, November 10, 1959 a Marine Gunnery Sergeant, Mac and I rode a bus from Atsugi, Japan to Tachikawa Air Force Base outside of Tokyo to catch a MATS flight back to the States. Since the next day was Veteran's Day, our flight would not leave until Friday, the 12th. They put Mac and I in a room in the transit barracks with two Air Force T/Sgts.

It was a big night at the NCO Club with live entertainment, so we all went, in uniform. When word got around the club that it was the Marine Corps Birthday and there were two Marines in the club Mac and I couldn't buy a drink. Whenever we'd finish one drink there would be two fresh ones sitting there.

We were sure glad we had the next day to recuperate before getting on an airplane back to the States.

Happy Birthday, Marines, and my sincere regards to the Air Force.

I was at the Green Bay WI recruiting office last night with my 16 year old son. Cool.

My son is a 13 year US Marine veteran. Today, I wished him a Marine Corp happy birthday and asked if he had any plans.
He said no. He and his wife are still recovering from Covid19.
