happy birthday, marines

the marines have been around for 235 years today! originally organized after the revolutionary war in 1775 to protect the 13 colonies, the marines have more than earned there cake. and, if they are eating cake today, maybe that will make the news...or maybe a marine's rendition of a beyonce or lady gaga song will be shown: i have yet to see in any headline the fact that the 'darkhouse' third battalion fifth of the marines is in a horrendous battle in afghanistan AT THIS MOMENT and have had thirteen members killed since last month. this story must have been buried between lindsey lohan and mel gibson updates.

our honorable troops were honored earlier this month with the designation of "clean marina" under the virginia clean marina program for the good work they perform at their quantico base facility. the marines join 62 other clean marinas throughout virginia. good work!
