As someone that grew up in a USMC household (and learned to tune out Harrier fly-overs), allow me to extend birthday wishes to all those that wear the Eagle, Globe and Anchor.

Semper Fi. (And Semper Gumby!*)

*A former USMC Captain I knew once used this in a speech… Always Flexible. Reminds me of the scene in Heartbreak Ridge, at the water obstacle, where the Major, because his team lost, says the other man cheated. “It’s not cheating, it’s improvising.” Semper Gumby.
