A big DITTO and Semper Fi! My experience with Marines started in October or November 1964 when I started a whole year of Arabic Language training at the Defense Language Institute, West Coast, in Monterey, CA... an Army-run post! My cube-mate was a 6-ft 6-inch+ Marine PFC and one of our squad leaders was a Marine Corporal who had dated my cousine in South Carolina. Marines are the guys we look to for getting the job done and protecting the rest of us "semi-combatants".

I know that I was sure glad to have them between us and the VC and NVA at Danang and Cam Ranh Bay in '67 and '68 while I was vacationing over there during the SEA War Games.

Happy Birthday, indeed!

I watched the first two parts and have the others scheduled to be recorded.

Excellent stuff. Most of the video is new to me and I've watched quite a bit of military history. It's being shown as a Veteran's Day special. Well worth seeing so far.

How does one say thank you to a group of individuals who've given so much for so many for so long?? There's no way for me to do so properly. But I'll try anyway. I thank you all and wish all of you who are serving or who have served a happy birthday!

A very big THANK YOU in deed, my dad who passed away in May was in "the corp" in the 1960s. A Marine to the end! Where would our nation be without these folks?

Thanks guys. From this 67 year old former Marine (62-66).

Semper Fi,

U S Navy 1969-1973. I wouldn't have admitted it then, but I had the greatest admiration for all Marines. I never set foot on land in Vietnam, just saw it as a pretty, green coastline from my ship. But every time I looked that way I never failed to see in my mind the leathernecks fighting and dying, and kicking NVA and VC butt in that jungle.

My heartfelt salute to all past and present Marines.

U.S. Navy '66-71. I helped to train Marines in making amphibious assaults while serving aboard The U.S.S. Fremont APA-44. Never met a jarhead that I didn't like. Happy Birthday Marine Corp.
