Congratulations, Marines, on your 235th birthday!
Almost forgot, but Slublog at AoSHQ reminded me. There's also a great picture he posted of Lt. General Lewis B "Chesty" Puller that nobody but a Marine could pull off.
Also, as you'll recall, I mentioned baby otters. Can't have a post about Marines without baby otters, now can we? Of course not.
Because, let's face it, all you really care about are cute infant water-borne mammals.
Got this from Ace, as well.

Semper Fi!
MacArthur always maintained that they landed with a platoon of rifleman and a battalion of PR people.

Yeah, and with MacArthur being the expert on self-promotion, he would know.

MacArthur said a lot of things. But I note that there are an awful lot of pictures of him triumphantly wading ashore in the Philippines.

Yeah, it took two takes to get 'the landing' right.
