Happy Birthday, Marines
By Lt Col P
I tuned in just in time to see the President's remarks at the opening of the National Museum of the Marine Corps, and to hear him say that Corporal Jason Dunham will be posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for an act of extraordinary heroism in Iraq. (Here's a post on him from our good friends at Blackfive.)
To all Marines across the globe, in every clime and place, to the old ones and the young ones, to the ones in uniform and the ones who've hung up their uniforms, I say HAPPY BIRTHDAY! May the good Lord above watch over us, the Corps and the Nation, and may all those overseas now return home safe and sound to enjoy next year's birthday.
