(Resolution of the Continental Congress, 10 November 1775.) "Goddam it, you'll never get the Purple Heart hiding in a foxhole! Follow me!" (Captain Henry P. "Jim" Crowe, USMC, Guadalcanal, 13 January 1943.) "Casualties many; Percentage of dead not known; Combat efficiency; we are winning." (Colonel David M. Shoup, USMC, Tarawa, 21 November 1943.) "The raising of that flag on Suribachi means a Marine Corps for the next 500 years." (James Forrestal, Secretary of the Navy, 23 February 1945.) "Among the men who fought on Iwo Jima, uncommon valor was a common virtue." (Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, USN, 16 March 1945.) I wanted to share with all of you a little History and some great quotes about your Corps. Gentlemen I love your game, your board is tremendous, you are truly the elite of wargaming. Mr Wilder if you ever make it out to the Desert in South California contact me. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARINES Semper Fidelis 1stSgt Curt Gustafson Company B 1st Tank Battalion 1st Marine Division

Status: offline 		FIrst Sergeant! I know you don't salute non-coms, but on this occasion, you and your fellow leathernecks receive a salute from my heart, and the deepest gratitude from my family for what you have done for us. You and so many like you have given me something very special...freedom! This, of course, might be argued by some, but the issue here is the courage of our fighting men of all ages and in all situations. On the anniversary of "The Corps," I feel very proud to count among my closest friends, Gyrenes of all ages. THANK YOU! And you had best believe you will be getting an advisory if and when I get out your way! I would be honored to meet you! "Present Arms!" Semper Fi!

To the the Marines fighting in the rotting jungles of Guadalcanal and the coral atoll of Tarawa; to the Marines crawling up the black sands of Iwo, and the rocky crags of Okinawa; from the frozen hell of the Chosen to the steaming jungles of Nam and the hell of Khe Sahn. To the Marines who died in Lebanon and the Marines in the Gulf, I salute all my past brothers and present, and future brothers and sisters who wear the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor, you are truly America's Force in Readiness! Happy Birthday UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS. Semper Fidelis Randy

Status: offline 		Happy Birthday Marines!!!! "Marines are about the most peculiar breed of human beings I have ever witnessed. They treat their service as if it were some kind of cult, plastering their emblem on almost everything they own, making themselves up to look like insane fanatics with haircuts to ungentlemanly lengths, worshipping their Commandant almost as if he were a god, and making weird animal noises like a band of savages. They'll fight like rabid dogs at the drop of a hat just for the sake of a little action, and are the cockiest sons of bitches I have ever known. Most have the foulest mouths and drink well beyond man's normal limits, but their high spirits and sense of brotherhood set them apart and, generally speaking, the United States Marines I've come in contact with are the most professional soldiers and the finest men I have ever had the pleasure to meet." -- An anonymous Canadian citizen "The deadliest weapon in the world is a Marine and his rifle!" -- General Pershing, US Army "The safest place in Korea was right behind a platoon of Marines. LORD, how they could fight!" -- Major General Frank Lowe, US Army Semper Fi, Chris S. ------------------ former Sergeant, USMC 1989-98 (1/9, 2/8, 2nd Reconaissance Bn, 2nd LAR) [email]sooperduk@hotmail.com[/email] [This message has been edited by Elvis (edited November 11, 2000).]
