Thanks fellas. If I had any on hand, tonight I would lift a glass to the Corps of Colonel Barleycorn's finest.
I would do it all over again with no hesitation, but only if I get to be 17 years old again.

Happy 242nd Inception Day to the unit with the proudest traditions and the greatest uniforms, both dress and utility.

Where would this country and the world be without The United States Marine Corps?

Who needs a bunch of green beanies, anyway?

Was just reading around on the NRA American Rifleman website - saw this article I thought the Marines here (and others) may enjoy - it's a quick read. OH
