On Feb. 22,2008 I posted my story of how proud I was that my son Marques had graduated from Marine Corps boot camp and earned the title of 'Marine'. I always ask him how things are going and he always tells me 'he's living the dream.' On Nov. 5, 2009 he made his 2nd anniversary in the Corps and ironically he commenced his boot camp training on Nov. 10, 2007. So to my son Marques, all the Marines that are serving, Marine veterans and the United States Marine Corps I want to wish you all Happy 234th Birthday. 234 years of pride, glory, honor and courage. Semper Fidelis and OOOHRAHH!!
