Happy anniversary to all members of "The Corps" from a former navy Swabie. I'll always remember the Marine Corp birthday because my ship, The USS Julius A Furer, DEG 6 was commisioned the same day. The first anniversary of our commisioning is a great memory (although understandably a bit fuzzy), involving combining a ships party with a group of US Marines celebrating the Corps anniversary at an EM club in Gitmo. WE ran out of mixers and they were out of alcohol, a perfect match. We drank toasts to the Marine Corps and the marines toasted our ship.
