From the Halls of Montezuma,
To the shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land, and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marine.


and don't forget the Sea Bees either Gunny.

A copy of the concept conceived of and executed exactly 110 years earlier, in 1665 (345 years ago), by Johan de Witt, Michiel de Ruyter, and Willem Joseph van Ghent, when it decided the Second Anglo-Dutch war in favor of the Dutch Republic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Marine_Corps#History).

Happy birthday USMC! :D
