This time of year its always exciting and sometimes Somber with Veterans Day on the Horizon and the Marine Corps Birthday on the 10th. Honor Courage and Commitment. Thank you veterans for the ability to speak one's mind. Thank our veterans for the service in defending our nation from the threat of terrorism, By the grace of God we have what we have along with those veterans that paid the ultimate sacrifice for the security that we take for granted. On November 10 it will be the Marine Corps 236th Birthday. Semper Fi To all Marines and a big thank you to all serviceman past and present. A great and thankful nation recognizes your service.

So I'd like all past serviceman to post a roll call to this post in honor of their service.
