Veteran's Day is correct....there are many Active Duty personnel as well as a few who are no longer, and even some DAV's on this board. There will be a thread on this tomorrow morning I promise you that:patriot:

And on the 11th Hour, of the 11th Day, of the 11th Month, the War to end all Wars came to an end. That day is a day to remember all those to whom we owe our freedoms.

But today the 10th: On the 10th of November 1775 by an act of Congress two Corps of Marines were formed..... I BY NO MEANS intend to belittle the sacrafices of those who have come before but today is the Marines Corps Birthday. Please don't hijack this.

Tomorrow is Veterans Day!

Yesterday 11/10 was a very special day for me as well. Not only did I celebrate the Marine Corps Birthday, but my daughter also celebrated her 14th birthday as well. Being a former Marine and having your 1st child born on the Marine Corps Birthday, makes it extra special.

It's hard to be humble when your'e the FINEST...
