Happy 235th Birthday to the USMC!

November 10th is a holiday in our house – it’s my husband’s second birthday! Regardless of the uniform he wears, he’s a Marine, first and foremost. That mentality and that training never goes away, and it affects how he performs his duties as a Soldier. He’s been successful in his military career because he is Marine. Marines tend to flock together and it truly is a brotherhood. DH formed close bonds with other prior-service Marines when he was in active duty. He trusted those guys, knowing the background and the abilities that come along with that title. To know a Marine is to love a Marine. I can pick out Marines from a crowd and tend to gravitate towards them. At the
