Happy Birthday United States Marine Corps!

Leathernecks. Jarheads. Devildogs. Grunts. Just a few ways over the decades we have described our US Marines. Their undying support to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, America, their brothers and sisters and maintain the honor and integrity of the United States Marine Corps. This year celebrates the 239th Birth of the USMC and should be recognized this November 10th, 2014. They are one year older than the United States and that should mean something! Happy Brithday United States Marine Corps!
