Happy 241st Birthday to our Local Marines

Nov. 10, 1775, marks the beginning of the Marine Corps.

So Happy 241st Birthday to all Marines, no matter where you are.

I figured this would be a great opportunity to say thank you to the brave men and women locally that proudly make the Marine Corps great.

I took to Facebook early this morning to ask for names of local Marines. Thank you for your service, and if you know a Marine wish them a Happy Birthday today.

Ever wonder about the Marine term "Semper Fi"? Semper fidelis is a Latin phrase that means "always faithful" or "always loyal". The United States marine Corps use it as their motto.
