Happy Belated Birthday to the USMC!

A few weeks ago we were able to go to the Marine Corps Ball for the 2nd Radio Battalion in Greenville. I always love going to the ball....even if Ben won't dance any fast songs with me. He actually went a whole 30 seconds into a swing song before getting embarrassed that we were the only ones out there :)

Here are a few quotes about the Marine Corps that were found on our tables. (Ben's favorite is the last one....in fact they played a clip of Pres Obama saying it during the Commandant's message to the Corps).


"Among the men who fought on Iwo Jima, uncommon valor was a common virtue."
- Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz

"The deadliest weapon in the world is a Marine and his rifle."
-Gen. John "Black Jack" Pershing, US Army

"Freedom is not free, but the U.S. Marine Corps will pay most of your share."
-Ned Dolan
