Happy 247, #Marines!

Good morning mastodon! Happy birthday to any #Marines out there, hope everyone in the US gets to enjoy a day off tomorrow. I'll likely be streaming some WoW classic and MTG. Let's get this day done!

#USMC #Birthday

Happy Birthday Marines! This birthday is a little bitter sweet for me as this is my last one on Active Duty. Yes, Once a Marine, Always a Marine… Nov 10th will always hold dear to my heart, but the feels are different when you aren’t surrounded by Marines. Oooohrahh!

Happy birthday #Marines

Check on your #jarhead #Marines real humans you know they’re counting down for the annual liverbeating, demon fighting, we fucking did it -The US Marine Corps started as the Continental Marines on November 10, 1775
#revolutionarywar gave birth to the #USMC
And subsequently the #UnitedStatesOfAmerica

I cant help but see this chain of events play 10 moves backwards and 10 forward.
#Marines November 10 1775
