#4 Though I no longer wear the EGA, I carry it in my thoughts and deeds every day. My time in the Marines shaped my life and gave me the closest friends a man could ever have. We often overlook the fact the Marine Corps was founded in a bar so many a brew will be hoisted in Philly tonight. Semper Fidelis and here's to another 230 years. A new generation of Marines has been forged over these past 4 years and I am humbled by thier valor. Take time out tomorrow to say a prayer for all the vets. To confront us - you must be stupid. To fight us - you must be crazy. To beat us - you must be kidding !

#9 ...Called my dad today and wished him a happy 230th - he did his time in what he affectionately refers to as The Old Corps (1953-59)- and he is still a Marine. Here's one to SGT Donald N. Kozlowski, USMC...Semper Fidelis.

#10 After 20 years of service in the USAF I am still humbles by some of the everyday stories about my Marine cousins. Semper Fi to you all.

#13 What everyone said. May our Marines continue to go from strength to strength in an unending line of brotherhood. Thank you all, from those of us here at home! (Broadhead6, extra special birthday wishes to those of you at the tip of the spear right now -- and God's pity on those who make themselves your foes, for they'll find none elsewhere!)

#14 Having always been in awe of the Corps' guts and supreme selflessness; I'm really not worthy to even offer an opinion. So I'll just say, "May God bless you all on your Birthday and thanks." Those in the USMC are the salt of the Earth. Amen.
