Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse; We would not die in that man’s company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is call’d the feast of Crispian.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam’d,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say ‘To-morrow is Saint Crispian.’
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say ‘These wounds I had on Crispian’s day.’
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he’ll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words-
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester-
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb’red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered- We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.
A happy birthday indeed to both Joe Foo and the Marines! I don’t see a whole lot of overt terrorists around here. Can I kill two-hundred thirty-three smelly, wrinkled, grey-haired (or bald) hippies instead?
To all the people in PA who re-elected John Murtha, I just want you to read another story about what those murdering b@stards did to a bunch of helpless children.
Thank you to each and every Marine on duty, as well as all you Marine vets, for your service to our country. I love you all ! They don’t come any hardier or more extraordinary !
Isaiah 42:13
“The LORD will march out like a mighty man, like a warrior he will stir up his zeal; with a shout he will raise the battle cry and will triumph over his enemies.”
Thanks for remembering. Semper Fi.
How about 435?
Frank,
tell Joe Foo Happy Birthday from me.
[His actual birthday is tomorrow on Veteran’s Day.
Thanks for serving, FormerHostage. -Ed.]
~SALUTE!~ And limitless thanks and gratitude to “the few and the proud.”
Semper Fi, devildogs. Keep doing what you do best- killing foreigners.
Thank you and God bless.
Semper Fi! Happy Birthday Devil Dogs

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Pass it on to both your brother and my dear cousin Buck, if you see him.

Happy Birthday, to all Marines. May the Lord God bless and keep you.
Thanks to all of you Marines. Just one question – must the total be 233 terrorists, or can we sneak a hippie or two in there to make quota?
Happy Birthday to the US Marine Corps! May the Lord watch over you as you keep our country safe. Many thanks for your incredible work.
Our family honors and thanks you for your service and sacrifice. May God bless you and yours always.

Amen.
I was a SQUID, but I spent 2.5 years working with the Marines as a NGLO on Camp Pendleton. It was an honor. Happy B-day Devil Dogs!
Happy Birthday, Marines!
God bless, and thank you.
