Stopped by my local place to pick up lunch, where I am a regular...Spoke to the barmaid and asked that if any Marines come by tomorrow, that I was good for $100 on their tab...Happy Birthday, indeed.

Should I buy Outer Worlds 2?

I had to prepared this year's message early since I have another civic duty: Jury. After a lifetime of duty to Country, Community, Children...It continues.

Happy birthday Marines, from Tun Tavern to the present day. With the principles and dedication to shipmates and the People Capitalization intended) and (Vance excepted, who should review his Handbook for Marine NCOs) The ghost of Dan Daly remains with those of us who read... As does the Commandant's reading list from over the years... From an old HMCS(SS), Semper Fidelis.
