Happy belated Sir! My husband says that "Marine" is always capitalized.
Oddly he tends to identify with the Corp. !st & formost,even though
he served in the USAF for 14yrs and only 7yrs in the USMC.Being non
conformant like an airman yet he still sports a jarhead haircut.Still he always
keeps the kids in line. Back to the front,did you fly?
November 11, 2009 is Veterans Day. The date commemorates the signing of the armistice treaty ending the first world war. The armistice went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918. On this day we remember and pay honor to all the men and women who have served in the armed forces of the United States. They have answered the call of their country in all corners of the world. They serve so that we can remain a free people, enjoying the liberties that so many can only dream of. They are our fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters and friends.
On this Veterans Day we especially remember all those currently on deployment, and their families. And remember those soldiers at Ft. Hood, Texas. If you know a veteran, a simple expression of thanks would be most appreciated. And if you are a veteran or active duty soldier, sailor, marine, airman or coast guardsman we invite you to join our group here at chess.com. If you would like to learn more about Veterans Day, and you are a fan of R. Lee Ermey, the link below from The History Channel is good.
