Man, I love this particular weekend. We Marines get a little full of ourselves, don the good uniforms, and wish each other Happy Birthday.
I was returning from the head a little while ago and happened on three Master Gunnery Sergeants in Blue Charlies giving their families a tour of the crash site and memorial and it was like old home week.
The Corps' Birthday and Veterans Day all in one three-day weekend: it don't get better than that.
Happy Birthday Marines!
