1775: Founding of the Marine Corps - A legacy is born
During the American Revolution, many important political discussions took place in the inns and taverns of Philadelphia, including the founding of the Marine Corps.
A committee of the Continental Congress met at Tun Tavern to draft a resolution calling for two battalions of Marines able to fight for independence at sea and on shore.
The resolution was approved on November 10, 1775, officially forming the Continental Marines.
As the first order of business, Samuel Nicholas became Commandant of the newly formed Marines. Tun Tavern’s owner and popular patriot, Robert Mullan, became his first captain and recruiter. They began gathering support and were ready for action by early 1776.
Each year, the Marine Corps marks November 10th with a celebration of the brave spirit which compelled these men and thousands since to defend our country as United States Marines

This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than the enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. My rifle and I know that what counts in war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, or the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit.
My rifle is human, even as I am human, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other.
Before God I swear this creed. My rifle and I are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy.
Happy Birthday!!! Marines
November 11th- VETERANS DAY!!
For it has been said so truthfully that it is the soldier, not the reporter, Politician or Sunshine patriots who have given us the freedom of we take so for granted in America. It is the soldier, not the poet, academic, the elites, the wealthy and all those others whom claim patriotism who has given us these liberties and rights we enjoy in freedom in America. It is the soldier, not the agitator, peace pundits who have given us the freedom to protest and dissent. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, who gives that protester of liberators and liberations, the freedom to abuse and burn that flag, degrade and despise those others of character and sacrifice who have paid in their blood and soul for what they know and respect so little and so infrequently.-Trader

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter.
Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace--but there is no
peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale
that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears
the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are
already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What
is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have?
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be
purchased at the price of chains and slavery?
Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course
others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or
give me death!

In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot. ~Mark Twain, Notebook, 1935

GOD bless the Marines..............................
Lets just hope they will fight to preserve our constitution and our way of life as they have done so many times for others.

God Bless any member of any armed forces on this day of memory for veterans of all branches of service.
But for you all, we would be speaking German, Russian, or Japanese, or being terrorized in the streets at this moment.
Thank you!!
