"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling that thinks that nothing is worth fighting for is
much worse.
The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself..."
-John Stuart Mill (1868)
On this day we celebrate the 230th Birthday of our "Corps" - take a moment and remember those that have gone before us and fought for our nation in "every clime and place", pray for those Marines that are in harms way today fighting for our American way of life and call your Marine "Buds" and wish them well on our birthday.
Semper Fidelis
