Happy Birthday Marines

[Winger Ed.]

On this day:
We celebrate 245 years of tradition and obnoxious pride, totally unhampered by progress.

My neighbor, out here in rural central Texas is a Marine vet who served in the early 60s. This morning I called him and invited him over to my range.

With my Marine Corps flag flying over the range, I handed him my M-1 rifle and several clips full of Greek surplus ammo and told him to "have at it, Marine" as I pointed downrange to my full size IPSC AR-500 target!

He hadn't shot an M-1 since 1963 but he kept all his rounds in a "dinner plate" right at COM. from 50 yards.

I told him that we should do this every November 10 for as long as we can. He agreed with a huge grin on his face.

Happy 245th to all my Marine Brothers! Semper Fi, Treetop

It's actually the 146th. Happy Birthday & Semper Fi fellow Jarheads!
I earned my Distinguished & Presidents 100 with an M1.

Semper Fi to my fellow Marines. Nuff said, anything else would be misunderstood by those who are not.
