HAPPY 241ST BIRTHDAY UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS!




Since November 10th, 1775, when the Continental Congress authorized two battalions of the Continental Marines to be formed, American Marines have honorably served from the Halls of Montezuma to the Shores of Tripoli and beyond "to fight for right and freedom and to keep [their] honor clean." Samuel Nicholas ("the fighting Quaker"), the first Marine (and Commandant) would be proud of the Marines who've served honorably during the last 241 years in every clime and place. May God bless the Marine Corps, and may God bless these United States in the years ahead. 

Proud of our son, Armstead Liebl, who continues what is now a family tradition of USMC service.
