Default Commandant's 233rd Marine Corps Birthday Message

I was watching the Pentagon channel a few nights ago and saw this video: http://www.marines.mil/usmc/Pages/20...thdayBall.aspx . I thought the video was very well done and good for citizens to see, and I'm sure it also pumps up the Marines who are currently serving right now. I especially want to thank all the Marines on Grunt's, past and present, for their service. Thanks and God Bless!

Happy Birthday Marines.


Lieutenant Colonel John W. Capdepon, executive officer, 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, and the youngest Marine, Private First Class James Gage, a MIMMS Clerk with Battalion Landing Team 2/6, stand behind a birthday cake during the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit's Cake Cutting Ceremony celebrating the 233rd Marine Corps Birthday, Nov. 10, 2008, aboard USS Iwo Jima (LHD-7). The 26th MEU and the USS Iwo Jima are in port in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, during their 2008-2009 deployment. (Official USMC photo by Gunnery Sgt. Christopher Matt)

Hi USMC Wife. I can't answer your question, but just wanted to say welcome to Grunts.
I hope you will post an introduction in the welcome section and stick around.
