Have any of you ever considered a one day event where we could get Marines and friends to sponsor us to hike X miles of the trail and we would have hikers stretched from Ga to Maine all on the trail at the same time and we collectively cover the entire trail in one day?
Everything we earn would go to Wounded Warrior.

I think all the responders qualify as..... not so green and not so mean, but we're all still Marines!
go marines AND navy!That's Marines with a capital M. And it's true, the Marines are a department of the Navy. Fortunately, we're the men's department. :banana

Birthday greetings from my siblings/relatives (members of the British SAS). I cleared this post with them prior to posting. Nothing but mutual respect here.

Thanks so much. I was priviledged to work with both the Royal Marines and the 148 Commando (specialized naval gunfire spotters of the Royal Army that worked mostly with the Royal Marines). Great people. As long as they're on your side.

Another Marine Corps birthday is on us. Many of our brothers and sisters are still in the bad places, pray for them, for a safe return. My nephew is back from the desert safe and sound and on his way to Oki. Happy birthday to all my brothers & sisters, and God Speed to those still in harms way. SEMPER FIDELIS
This post has spanned a year now. Happy Birthday to all my brothers and sisters in arms. US Marines one and all.

Semper Fi to all you Marines, and a shout-out to the Navy Seabees who get down and dirty right along with them, including my son, presently serving in Afghanistan on a Marine FOB.

Just a heads up,
There is no such thing as a "former Marine". Once a Marine, always a Marine.

My Granddaughter is a Marine. Back in the day, I was in the Army. I've got relatives that were in every branch of the Military except the Coast Guard.
Happy Birthday, Marine Corps. And an early thanks to all Veterans.

I had breakfast with a Marine veteran Friday, as we both waited to ge our snow tires installed. It seems that every time I meet a Marine, it's a pleasure and an education.
