Today is the 234th birthday of the United States Marine Corps.As a veteran Marine I will always be proud to have served with this brave group of men and women who give meaning to the terms Honor, Courage and Commitment.
Yet, despite their unwavering commitment to the defense of our country, their valor on the battlefield and their great personal sacrifice in carrying out their mission, our government continues to ask the Marines to risk their lives when the President can't define the mission, Congress wastes billions of dollars in support of corrupt foreign governments and no one in Washington has the political courage to do what is necessary to win. Didn't we learn anything from Vietnam?
The Marines and all of our armed forces deserve more.
Happy Birthday Marines!
