I wanted to wish all my fellow Marines a Happy Birthday. The Continental Marines was established on November 10th, 1775, and since 1921 it has been celebrated every year with the Marine Corps Ball.
Most every Marine holds this day in high regard. I know I appreciate it more than my own birthday. A day for me to think back not only about my own service but those I served with and those that served be for me. The sacrifices we made for our country and our fellow Americans.
If you happen to know any Marines wish them a happy Birthday when you see them today.

I have a retired Marine who works for me, and I made sure to wish him a happy birthday on November 10th.

@Bensen32 He showed me pictures on Monday of his weekend. Him and his wife went to St. Augustine along the east coast of Florida, and he wore his Class A's on Saturday (Veterans Day). He said everybody was buying him drinks as a way of saying thanks for serving. He said he was feeling good the entire weekend.
