My Dad, a Marine to his core, who served in Vietnam loved the corps so much. Growing up we made cake and sang happy birthday to the Marines every year, it was great. He died in 2020, his name was Paul. Happy birthday to the United States Marine Corps.
Yeah, that's not true, Marine. Once a Paratrooper and M60 Gunner, always a Paratrooper and M60 Gunner. Just like the title, Marine is earned, so is Paratrooper, Ranger, Special Forces, Soldier. Our warfighter DNA still lives in every one of us. Just talk to any veteran. They'll say the same. What you just said, is the biggest crock of shit I've ever read. Still shows there are Marines out there that are dumb as a box of sand. Signed, An 82nd Airborne Veteran
I’m retired Army , and I know the different services talk crap and make fun of each other, but the military isn’t for everybody and it takes a special kind of person to serve proudly in the military. Happy Birthday Marines!!
I am a 21 year retired Army SOF and never really understood why some choose the Marines but if I was young today this dope ass video would have sold me right here and now. Nothing but love to my Marine brothers. 😎🫡🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Marines have no Peer? Oh is that why you wear Army ranks even tho you're Navy? Wear army dress uniforms in navy colors? You're the Army of the Navy, get over it.
No we are the MENS Department of the NAVY.. and you join the Marines cause you wanna be first in. You wanna be the best dressed.. once a marine always a marine. Not like I was in the army I was in the airforce. It's simply I'm a fucking Marine
@@D0C391 you get 3 birthdays a year to celebrate Doc. Yours, the Navy’s in October & the Marine’s in November. You’re creeping up on dog years there Doc. SF.
I'm proud to be a United States Marine. Parris Island was a experience I won't forget. When I learned discipline and right from wrong. Semper Fi. Let's defend our liberty here at home.
I really enjoyed this birthday video. It didn't whitewash the mission of the Marine Corps. It didn't apologize for fighting hard to win. The Marines were built to be a superior fighting force, and we are. I was at boot camp in Parris Island for the 197th birthday in 1972.It wasn't a party, and the Drill Instructors made sure we understood the importance of that day.
I know of Paris Island...& Camp lejeune. My father was a drill instructor there and went on to become a Chief Warrant Officer II in the Vietnam war. I have many stories written over the years of his missions, that I hold a very dear. He was a true Marine Hero 💪 ✈️. I miss him SO!! Semper Fi 🇺🇸✌️🫶 daddy.
@@BethBoltze-s6u I've known several Warrant Officers and I have a different respect for them as compared to conventional commissioned officers. They were regular enlisted Marines before being commissioned. They know what it's like being on the bottom of the barrel, and worked their way up. Bless your dad.
@@BarbarianInFact I wasn’t a good enough shot to be 8541. I was an aviation Marine. I was fortunate to serve in a combined aviation-ground unit for 4 years. The skill and ferociousness of the grunts saved my life more than once.
@@joycescudder8139 It was a pleasure to do it for as long as I could. After retiring I’ve had a greater appreciation of my past life. I was a “4 and out” Marine who made a 22 year career out of serving. 1 day, 1 term, 20 years or anywhere in between…it all matters.
"The fields of the dead will be the evidence of our passing..our Heritage which shows us war will never change America will always need Marines to fix bayonets and charge the enemy.” A true warfighting organization and not afraid to show it. Happy Birthday Devil Dogs!
Enlisted on 17th birthday after being rejected with false birth certificate at 16. Served 22 years active, 8 Fleet Reserve. Went from MGySgt (E9) to 1stLt--MUSTANG in Vietnam. Previously served in Korea with 2 Marine Brothers; our Sister married a Marine. Two Navy Brothers, one KIA at 19 in WWII the other served in Korea also. Nephew retired Marine Colonel; Uncle a WWII Marine. Think I like the Corps? No, I LOVE it! Happy Birthday, fellow Marines, and Semper Fidelis!
Thank you sir for your service. I have always had and will have the utmost respect for all “ Mustangers”. It was an honor to have served as a platoon sergeant with a Mustanger platoon commander.
RESPECT CANT WAIT FOR THE 250TH BIRTHDAY! my grandfather was a Marine Corp Sergeant in Korea. He was a machine gunner. He was a great man and taught me about the History of war. The Marine Corps is what made him so great. Rip Seargent Albert Weir, Massachusetts Died 87 years old.
Old Marine here, 2 combat stars, and when I saw the crosses with Dtags I began to weep. Not for loss, but for dear pride as a Father to his sons and daughters who have continued on, and upheld our great traditions of excellence and honor. God Bless all Marines and HAPPY FRICKEN BIRTHDAY !
From Belleou wood, Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, Chosen Reservoir, Hue city, and Fallujah... I thank all the men and women for your sacrifice and scervice and wish the Corps a happy birthday. Semper Fi from Canada.

From the Halls of Moctezuma To the shores of Trípoli We will fight our country battle In the air the land and sea First to fight for right and freedom And to keep our honor clean We are proud to ware the title OF BEING THE FUCKING FINEST FIGHTING FORCE EVER CREATED
My father is a Marine (served his country for 4 years), my grandfather is a Marine (served his country for 30 years). As a daughter (and granddaughter) it is an honor to be raised by the best of the best. Happy 249th Birthday!!
God bless all military. Thank you for defending our freedom. Thank you for your service. We love and stand by you. Happy birthday, Marines. Stay safe out there, too. Those that are still with us and to those who are not, thank you so much. may you all be resting in peace. 😢😢😊
I'm very happy to see General Smith looking so healthy and standing on 10 toes. He had some health complications going on at the very start of his appointment as Commandant, and I'm thrilled to see him in good health again. Semper Fi Sir and Happy Birthday! Love you Marines!
I was in the Airforce; however, we owe these men a vote of gratitude. They were great and continue to be!! Happy Birthday thanks for your service. Thanks
I like Airforce. Yall would put Gatorade protein shakes in the airdrops. Seniors would make us boots get out of the gun trucks to load the drop. We would hide the shakes from them. Lance Corporal Underground in effect.
Marine over here! And Semper Fi to all those who are and have served 🎉 Tomorrow I'm going for an early morning run and showing my respect and passion to a branch I'm very proud to represent. I am showing love from Miami and will continue to do so as long as the big man upstairs allows me to continue breathing 💯 Ooh-rah DevilDogs!
Always and forever faithful to the Corps. Death before dishonor brothers and sisters. Forever let there be waves and waves of Marines in every shade of green to protect this nation and it's people. I started my journey on Parris Island in 1995, served in Iraq and Afghanistan with five combat tours and retired with 22 years of dirty boots and sore muscles. I swore that I would give the Corps everything I had and I did. I'm worn out and still standing with a determination as sharp as it was in the sweltering heat and sandknats of South Carolina. I will protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America until my green heart stops and my green soul leaves for Valhalla. Ooh Rah Marines and Happy Birthday
Semper-Fi Brother, to those living and to those who never made it back home. To those who couldn't fight their battles at home, Happy Birthday. I hope yall found peace.
My Marine Corps brothers are my closest friends then and now. We might not always get together but when we do it's like we just saw each other yesterday. SEMPER FI!! TIL I DIE!!
I cannot believe that 40 years have passed since I stepped on those remarkable footprints. The time may have passed, but the lessons learned, the camaraderie, and the brotherhood never leaves you and the spirit lives on within you. Semper Fi to all my brothers and sisters out there, I wish you all a very Happy Birthday!!! 🥳🎉🎈🎊 🎁 🎂 RAH!!!

From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, they fight our countries battles in air, on land and sea… Happy Birthday Mother Green! Retired Navy
Hello, just wanted to add my two cents in. I see so many Gen Z and Gen Alpha get scared of the draft and talk about how they don't want to go war. I am a 30 year old educator running my own business. I tried to get into the national guard many years ago and they turned me down at MEPS because I couldn't duck walk. Despite all of this, if it came to conflict, and despite my age and physical limitations, I would rush to be in that line if it meant saving my country. The fact I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE to work such a cushy job in education is entirely because of these folks in this video and every single member who is and has served to protect the freedom of this country. Thank you for your service, and just know that I am teaching your heroism to the young minds back at home. They will know of your sacrifice, they will know of your courageous exploits, and most importantly your effort will always be remembered. Thank you, and if you ever need someone to teach anyone about math, reading, writing, or communication, just let me know. I nothing else, I can pilot a drone.
I miss you Daddy. You gave 25 years. I’ll never forget you taking me to the Ball when I was 15. Semper FI Marines You are the height of excellence 🇺🇸💪🏼🇺🇸
Man ... I really needed to see this. Tough times right now but im glad that I have my Marine Ciros training that has given me the ability to fight through, to be versatile and to keep, thinking things through... work it out, eventually we will succeed. Semper Fidelis to my brothers and sisters.
I think what makes the Marines special is the focus on our history and heritage while always looking forward and innovating. We draw strength from our predecessors at Belleau Wood, Iwo Jima, Chosin Reservoir, Khe Sanh and an ever growing list of exigencies. No Marine wants to be found lacking compared to those who came before. Every Marine that’s served in war or peace is a link in a continuous chain. There’s ups and downs and political BS but the Corps continues, adapts & evolves to support the oath we all took. Happy birthday and Semper Fi Devil Dogs!
couldn't have said it better. no one wants to be seen ' shirking ' when there's names like Sgt John Basilone (among many others) to live up to. so that when you get to Valhalla, he'll shake your hand and say " well done Marine, welcome."
Brings tear to my eyes everytime I watch these messages. I remember leaving the stumps on my last day and hauled ass out the gate which I thought was the happiest day of my life turned out to be the saddest as I would find out later on. I miss my brothers everyday and what I stood for you lose that sense of purpose once your out and it sucks but you eventually find a way to push forward like marines always do! To my brothers i lost on the battlefield of Iraq rip and too the new warriors be ready cause our time is coming again!!
I was the 6th in my family to become a Marine , 2 Uncles,2 Cousins ,Brother and myself ,we kept the tradition going now its for our younger family generations to carry it on proudly .. Happy 249th Marines Semper Fi.
Happy Birthday to the United States Marine Corps. ❤️ It has always been a dream as a Ghanaian 🇬🇭 to be a Marine, I will be a Marine or my soul can’t rest, it will happen. Semper Fidelis 🫡
1998-2020. 22 years of faithful service with some of the best people I have ever met. We Marines know that the future of the Corps depends upon remembering the honor and sacrifices of those that came before. Happy Birthday, Marines!!
Happy birthday, Marines. Having served on amphibious ships in the Navy, It was a pleasure to meet and work with you as well traveled around the Pacific together in support of your mission. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARINES. USN retired
If I was an enemy I'd be pooping my pants if I'd I heard the Marines were coming. My Uncles were Marines in Vietnam as were my wife's. Just watched The Pacific, awesome! 👍 Easy to sleep at night knowing you all are there. Thank you!
Greatest time of my life that I took for granted when I was there. You never know what you have until it’s gone. You’ll never match that brotherhood anywhere else in your life
Thank you thank you thank you there are not enough thank yous for your service, your fight to keep me and where i live safe, carry on. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARINES
To all the men and service women past and present , thank you for your sacrifices to keep our beautiful country free. You are the true hero’s of our great nation. God bless you all and God bless America!
My Dad was proud of many accomplishments in his life. One was being a proud Dad of his 2 daughters. But more than anything he was proud to be a Marine. I'm ok with coming in 2nd to the Marine Corp. He always said that the Marine Corp made him the man he was and he was the best. He landed on Iwo Jima twice and saw the flag raising. Happy Veteran's Day Dad and all those that have and are serving and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE MARINE CORP! Semper Fi!

Man ... I really needed to see this. Tough times right now but im glad that I have my Marine Ciros training that has given me the ability to fight through, to be versatile and to keep, thinking things through... work it out, eventually we will succeed. Semper Fidelis to my brothers and sisters.
I think what makes the Marines special is the focus on our history and heritage while always looking forward and innovating. We draw strength from our predecessors at Belleau Wood, Iwo Jima, Chosin Reservoir, Khe Sanh and an ever growing list of exigencies. No Marine wants to be found lacking compared to those who came before. Every Marine that’s served in war or peace is a link in a continuous chain. There’s ups and downs and political BS but the Corps continues, adapts & evolves to support the oath we all took. Happy birthday and Semper Fi Devil Dogs!
couldn't have said it better. no one wants to be seen ' shirking ' when there's names like Sgt John Basilone (among many others) to live up to. so that when you get to Valhalla, he'll shake your hand and say " well done Marine, welcome."
Semper Fi, Happy birthday to all my fellow Marines
Brings tear to my eyes everytime I watch these messages. I remember leaving the stumps on my last day and hauled ass out the gate which I thought was the happiest day of my life turned out to be the saddest as I would find out later on. I miss my brothers everyday and what I stood for you lose that sense of purpose once your out and it sucks but you eventually find a way to push forward like marines always do! To my brothers i lost on the battlefield of Iraq rip and too the new warriors be ready cause our time is coming again!!
YES. This is a brilliant birthday message which shows the true soul of the USMC. Bless each and every Marine, past, present, future.

My Dad was proud of many accomplishments in his life. One was being a proud Dad of his 2 daughters. But more than anything he was proud to be a Marine. I'm ok with coming in 2nd to the Marine Corp. He always said that the Marine Corp made him the man he was and he was the best. He landed on Iwo Jima twice and saw the flag raising. Happy Veteran's Day Dad and all those that have and are serving and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE MARINE CORP! Semper Fi!
