Thank you South Bender,
I just got home from our 240th birthday Party ! Great to celebrate
With all my fellow Marines ! Lord Rest the soul of your dad, we also said a prayer for all our Marine Brothers who have gone before us. So your Dad was not forgotten and will always be remembered by all future Marines.
Semper Fi !

I miss this day and the way it's celebrated on base. The comradery is like no other I have been associated with since my retirement. The feelings associated with stories of days gone by and the remembrance of those lost is beyond words for me to explain. It's special.

Happy 240th to you as well Brother

You mean October 28 1664 - Oh sorry - that's the Royal Marines!

We had Royal Marines attached to my First Marine Division at the
Chosen Reservoir. There was , and still is, a lot of well deserved mutual admiration And respect between us.
As Chesty Puller said of that battle " The Marines who fought a the
Chosen Reservoir were the best fighting men that he had ever seen."
The Royal Marines also were fighting side by side with us.
Semper Fi !
