Happy Birthday, Marines!

In the middle of the Battle of Fallujah, the Marine Corps celebrates its birthday. You've gotta love those folks. Happy 229th!

Marine Verse to The Navy Hymn

Eternal Father, grant , we pray,
To all Marines, both night and day,
The courage, honor, strength and skill
Their land to serve, Thy law fulfill;
Be Thou the Shield forevermore
From ev'ry peril to the Corps.

-- J. E. Seim

Go get 'em, Marines!
