Bad squishy, bad squishy

Bad Jessica. I forgot about the USMC's birthday!! November 10, 1775, which makes the United States Marine Corps 231 years of age. Happy (belated) Birthday! And to celebrate, I give you:

The Marine's Hymn

From the halls of Montezuema
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 Unites States Marines

Our Flag's unfurl'd to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun;
We have fought in every clime and place
Where we could take a gun.
From 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 gate are guarded
By United States Marines.

(Recalled from memory by me...try singing that without tearing up!)
