Happy Birthday, Marine Corps

Happy 235th Birthday, USMC! Oorah!

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 every 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.

And a little "fun": Top ten things Marines did (last year) to celebrate the USMC birthday

(Shisa watched this quite enthralled when I played it on the computer. She also sat at "attention" as I played the Marine Corps Hymn. Whatta (devil) dog ;) )
