The Marine Corps, is a very tough team to be part of:

=> While on Parris Island, South Carolina, January - April, 1996, for U.S. Marine Corps Recruit Training, my company started off with over 90 recruits, and graduated with less than 60 fully trained U.S. Marines.

Even when completing all other required USMC Training, to include, USMC School of Infantry, and USMC Technical School, when being stationed at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, 1996 - 2000, there were large numbers of persons who did NOT complete their initial U.S. Marine Corps enlistments.

Through this entire process, creates a REAL TOUGH Fighting Team, called the U.S. Marine Corps, which is respected Worldwide !!!

The U.S. Marine Corps was founded at TUN TAVERN on November 10, 1775, EXACTLY, 234 years ago, on this November 10, 1775.

To this date, when there is trouble anywhere WORLDWIDE, the famous quote Remains:

"SEND THE U.S. MARINES"

In addition, let us NOT Forget:

The Battle of Belleau Wood, 1918, where in France, when the U.S. Marines first arrived, during WORLD WAR ONE, the Germans launched a large offensive, which shattered the French Army Lines.

French Soldiers, fleeing from the Germans, shouted to the U.S. Marines, "You Need to Retreat, the Germans are coming !!"

The U.S. Marine Corps Commander said, "Why? We just got here !!!"

As the French Army fled for their lives at Belleau Wood, the U.S. Marine Corps held the line, and stopped the attack of Elite German Army "SHOCK" Storm Troopers.

Because of the attacks which the Germans sent would have slaughtered NORMAL SOLDIERS, but were halted by U.S. Marines, Professional German Soldiers, out of respect for the U.S. Marines, started to call U.S. Marines:

"TEUFEL HUNDE"

Which means with total respect from the GERMAN ARMY:

"DEVIL DOGS"

To this date, in the year 2009, a U.S. Marine is CALLED both a "LEATHER NECK," and a "DEVIL DOG."

I am very proud, to this date, to have been part of this great USMC Tradition.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY U.S. MARINE CORPS !!!

SEMPER FI !!!
