    Since the picture is of Chesty Puller, here are some of his quotes.

    http://www.military-quotes.com/chesty-puller.htm

    He was the most ever decorated Marine with 5 Navy Crosses.

    Unbelievable!!!

    If US Marines drink beer, have one on me. Must just about the oldest regular force in the US.

    I wonder where they got the idea from?
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    You mean our Royal Marines? possibly the most lethal force to step of a boat since the dawn of man kind.

    Believe me, you don't want to be the enemy when the commandos are coming up the beach, or from the air, or one of the many other combat insertions they're trained in.

    Soory, backwards; and the motto is nicked as well.

    Happy Birthday, nonetheless.

    US Army Infantry is the oldest regular force in the US.

    Resolution of the Continental Congress: 14 June 1775
    RESOLVED, that six companies of expert riflemen be immediately raised in Pennsylvania, two in Maryland, and two in Virginia; that each company consist of a captain, three lieutenants, four sergeants, four corporals, a drummer or trumpeter and sixty-eight privates.

    234? The Navy didn't even exist at the time, how could the Marines? In fact, IIRC, most officers aboard ships and boats during the revolution were Army officers filling in the gap which is why the Navy's official birthday is somewhat later than the Revolution.

    Just curious.
