"I have only two out of my company and 20 out of some other company. We need support, but it is almost suicide to try to get it here as we are swept by machine gun fire and a constant barrage is on us. I have no one on my left and only a few on my right. I will hold." (First Lieutenant Clifton B. Cates, USMC, 96th Co., Soissons, 19 July 1918.)

"Casualties many; Percentage of dead not known; Combat efficiency; we are winning." (Colonel David M. Shoup, USMC, Tarawa, 21 November 1943.)

Hey Notso, personally I preferred to take my chances getting sent to Nam, although I lucked out and ended up not having to go. Climbing into a boat that sinks on purpose is right up there with jumping out of a perfectly good airplane or working in a coal mine, just doesn't make sense to me. [:D]
Then again my draft number was 13 so I knew I was going to be in the service and picked the Corps because I'd had two cousins in previously.

Happy birthday USMC, and thank you to US Vets everywhere.

Happy Birthday to ya'll leathernecks. I enjoyed a few Marine Corp Balls while I was on embassy duty as the resident Seabee at the Embassy in Belgrade. Ya'll know how to throw a good shindig. I too join the Navy to have a dry bed and hot meals, but notso lucky[:(] I ended up in the Seabees, living in seahuts, using four holers and outside showers. Comshawing anything not nailed down from the Army,ClubMed (Air Force) with their a/c barracks and chow halls.[:p] Besides we're not as old as you leathernecks, only been around since March 5, 1942. Someone has to look out for you marine's[:p]
