At a place called Tun Tavern in Philadelphia, PA exactly 228 years ago, Uncle Sam and the devil got drunk and came up with the (now) United States Marine Corps.
Deemed America's finest fighting force, the United States Marine Corps has a reputation for honor and valor that is unmatched the world over.
Blah, blah, blah.
Seriously, today is the Marine Corps birthday. Go to your local Tun Tavern and buy a devil dog a beer.

P.S. No offense to you (shudder) Army, Navy and Air Force types.
