231 Years For Our Illustrious Corps
Happy Birthday to all fellow Marines!
"Marines are about the most peculiar breed of human beings I have ever witnessed. They treat their service as if it were some kind of cult, plastering their emblem on almost everything they own, making themselves up to look like insane fanatics with haircuts to ungentlemanly lengths, worshipping their Commandant almost as if he were a god, and making weird animal noises like a band of savages. They'll fight like rabid dogs at the drop of a hat just for the sake of a little action, and are the cockiest sons of bitches I have ever known. Most have the foulest mouths and drink well beyond man's normal limits, but their high spirits and sense of brotherhood set them apart and, generally speaking, the United States Marines I've come in contact with are the most professional soldiers and the finest men I have ever had the pleasure to meet."

Semper Fidelis!

Hey guys,
For the brave men and women of our military, and for lesser mortals everywhere, RightLinx will host our 3rd weekly USO dance party Friday night. This is a John Kerry-free zone where conservatives know how to party.
