                              "Semper Externus, Semper Fidelis, Frater Infinitas." 

Or for those of you not in the know (or just... you know... folks like me that don't speak Latin on a daily basis..)  "Often Tested, Always Faithful, Brothers Forever"

I do hope that if there are any Marines reading this (veterans or otherwise) I do hope they will forgive me for being a day late. Because you see, yesterday was the Marine Corps birthday. And I didn't get a chance to post this. So, I apologize.

Why do I care about the Marine Corps birthday and not like, the Army's birthday or the Navy's or Air Force or whatnot?? Well... let's just call it an unhealthy fascination. It started with watching NCIS and falling in love with Gunnery Sergeant Leroy Jethro Gibbs. (In case any of you were curious, no. Mark Harmon who plays Gibbs was never actually a Marine. Although he depicts one quite well doesn't he??)

Anyway, long winded explanations and apologies later, I really just wanted to wish the Marine Corps a very Happy Birthday. And I wanted to thank all of the Marines who made that decision to serve the country. And to all of those who, perhaps, joined the Marine Corps but didn't make it through boot camp  you still gave it a shot. So I thank you too.

Oh! And to the rest of our veterans in the Service, thank you guys! Happy Veterans Day!



With Love,
Amber
