For those of you who do not know, today is the 233rd birthday of the U.S. Marine Corps. Regardless of what you think of the war, please take the time today to wish a simple happy birthday to every Marine you know. They have a tough and often thankless job. Attached is a link to the birthday message that was sent out to every Marine, past and present from Gen. James T. Conway, Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps. In a few brief words, it explains a bit about where that Marine attitude comes from.
