On 10 November 1775, before the United States was yet a country, the Continental Congress created what became the United States Marine Corps. It is both tragic and altogether typical that on their Corps’ 229th birthday, America’s Marines are carrying the fight to the enemy in Fallujah, just as their fathers and brothers did before them in Grenada, at Hue City, the Chosun Reservoir, Iwo Jima, Peleliu, Tarawa, Guadalcanal, Corregidor, Belleau Wood, the Argonne, Peking, Nicaragua, Mexico City, Tripoli and a million other places. Semper Fi guys, and may God be with you every day, especially today in Iraq and Afghanistan.
