Saepe Expertus, Semper Fidelis, Fratres Aeterni
I wanna share a story with all my fellow Marines. A retired Marine Major I have the pleasure of knowing told me about this. Tonight at 9:30 eastern time every person he went to OCS with 42 years again will be toasting a beer in honor the 235th birthday. 3 guys he went with took almost a year to track every single person down. I am going to participate as well and I encourage all other Marines on this board to do the same. Happy Birthday Marines.
Not much of a drinker, but can't think of a better reason. I'll be there.
Semper Fi Devil Dogs!!!!
OoohRah! 
(yeah, it's two years old, but still very true!)

Here you go Devil's. Loud n proud now...
From the Halls of Montezuma
To the Shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
of United States Marine.
Our flag's unfurled to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun;
We have fought in ev'ry clime and place
Where we could take a gun;
In the snow of far-off Northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes;
You will find us always on the job
The United States Marines.
Here's health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve
In many a strife we've fought for life
And never lost our nerve;
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven's scenes;
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.
