To my brothers: Trent, Nathan, Christian, Chris, Shawn, Carlos, Lou, Iris, John, Jennifer, Kristina, and Robert (hope I didn't miss anyone), Happy Birthday. Thank you for your service, dedication, and sacrifice. Make sure you get your slice of cake tomorrow, as we celebrate with rest of the Corps (both past and present) and the mission it serves."Today, you are Marines. You're part of a brotherhood. From now on, until the day you die, wherever you are, every Marine is your brother. Most of you will go to Vietnam. Some of you will not come back. But always remember this: Marines die. That's what we're here for. But the Marine Corps lives forever, and that means you live forever."
