Marines''

One more for the weekend road…

The U.S. Marine Corps is 231 years old today. (Also see The magic of “a few good men”) Happy birthday! You make us proud.

I know of at least one former marine who reads this blog regularly. Are there other former and current marines (or relatives of marines) reading LBC? Let us know.

The few, the proud…yeah, I love a man in uniform. ;)

Addendum: I didn’t realize that Veterans Day is being observed today. Once again, and always, I thank you for defending the freedom of this great country.

Blogger tributes: A Soldier’s Perspective (video tribute), Hot Air, Argghhh!, Blackfive, Michelle Malkin, Lorie Byrd, Mary Katharine Ham, Church and State

More blogs: Blue Star Chronicles (very nice), video tribute at Elocutio

Trivia Update: Alaska is home to the most U.S. veterans. Follow the link to find out why. Alaska is described as a “sparsely settled state.” The older I get, the more appealing that sounds. :?
