USMC FROM 1972-1979, USN 1984-2000 (retired). Proud to have served in both! Today, however, I shout out to all my fellow Marines…Happy Birthday Marines!

Wow what made you go back into the Navy after a 4 year hiatus ? College I assume ?
Impressive career- thank you for your service.

I have nothing but respect for anybody who served in the marines and served for our country. People who have served have made sacrifices so people like me have the freedom to watch the Cowboys.

I give a heartfelt thank you to anyone who has served or has a family member that served. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I just read through this entire thread. All I can say is everyone on this board that served Thank you and much respect. I mean it with all my heart. I didn’t realize we had so many board members that served in the armed forces. There’s a debt that can’t be paid and all I can say is I appreciate it.

I have said this many times but if I was a millionaire I would fly everyone out for a game. After the game or before I would love to hear some of the stories. I respect the veterans. There’s a couple things I’m passionate about and knew of them is the sacrifices of armed forces and their families. Anyway I could go on and on.

Happy Birthday USMC, thank you for everything

And Coyotes…

Yes, college. I wanted to go back to USMC with a commission, but they weren’t waiving ages over 27 (I was29). The Navy allowed me to go to OCS and get a commission. It all worked out for the best…

My uncle served in the Marines in the Pacific during the Second World War. Many thanks to him, and all the other Marines, for their service. True story. He met my aunt under a jeep. There was some kind of explosion and everyone was taking cover.

Thank you to the Marines, and happy birthday.

My dad was not even a Marine (served in SAC during the late 50's)
yet he made me memorize the first stanza of the Marine Corp Hymn.

Thank you to the USMC
