Happy 234th

[bam bam]

to the USMC!!! The finest fighting force the world has ever known.

“When I give you the word, together we will cross the Line of Departure, close with those forces that choose to fight, and destroy them. You are part of the world’s most feared and trusted force. Engage your brain before you engage your weapon. Share your courage with each other as we enter the uncertain terrain north of the Line of Departure. Keep faith in your comrades on your left and right and Marine Air overhead. Fight with a happy heart and strong spirit. For the Mission’s sake, our country’s sake, and the sake of the men who carried the Division’s colors in past battles – who fought for life and never lost their nerve – carry out your mission and keep your honor clean. Demonstrate to the world there is No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy than a U.S. Marine.” – Major General James N. Mattis. Commander, 1st Marine Division, March 30, 2003, on the eve of crossing into Iraq

Bam,

Great post.

You and Justagirl.....(nicknamed by me....Mr. Darcy and Miss Bennet, on this site)....
you must make-up and return to Pemberly! Remember, Mr. Darcy, to
keep your eyes on the prize, (Miss Bennet), and not on the derriere!
