HAPPY 249th BIRTHDAY!

Happy birthday to my fellow Marines! Long live Americas oldest cult...  

Semper Fi!

I didn't serve, but my Dad did. I just ran their beloved Marathon a few times.

Happy birthday,  you sweet bastards.

I didn't authorize dessert yet! Go finish your MRE first...

I have had the pleasure of meeting a Marine who served in Vietnam.  We take a photography workshop together.  He wrote one of the chapters in this book--a vivid recounting of an ill-fated attempt to hold a hill in Vietnam very close to the DMZ and the Laotian border.  Heck of a guy.

I need to buy some Crayola stock before next year's birthday.  It's gonna get crazy.

It's a big one, but you mean crazier...
