Happy Birthday Marines!

[US Scout]

To all my fellow Marines, and the Navy personnel who served with them, Happy 234th Birthday!

I hope all of you will be able to take a few minutes to observe our Birthday.  I will be attending a celebration ceremony at 0900 today in our building.

Thank you, Sir!
       I don't feel a day over two hundred!

Happy Birthday General, Ned-and all Marines!

The boys in the Historical Pageant wanted me to pose for a shot (and had fed me quite a few shots!) with them at the Birthday Ball. It's a scan, the photographer took standard photos, not digital.

One of my M1 Garands, a Winchester shown  in the lower left, was loaned for the occasion.

Unfortunately, our era is not represented here, but Marines sure do take their history seriously!

Great Picture Charles!  Happy Birthday MARINES!

Happy birthday , Marines! Nice pic, Charles, but you need to work with those guys to get an outfit from our time period. Of course, the Lee-Navy might make it a bit of an expensive outfit.

I hope it was a great birthday today, ya wonderful bunch of jarheads!

Thanks everyone!

Of course, the Lee-Navy might make it a bit of an expensive outfit.

Pony Express, the Corps has them. Unfortunately, our era is obscure to most people.

They have a Lee Navy at Camp Lejeune just for the historical pageant. On the right reciever rail where all the fine words and patent dates are stamped, it's covered by a crudly electropenciled stock number. Makes me feel sick to see the thing.

Somebody must have let Bubba get ahold of the arms room keys!
