Happy 250th Birthday to our United States Marine Corps, my own Marine, Gunnery Sergeant johnathan Wade (retired).
Some were called by our country in times of need, others called by something deep within their hearts to join the deadliest fighting force in the world, to give their lives to the greater good, and to embody all that the title of US Marine brings.
Thank you to all who answered the call. Thank you for your dedication. Thank you for taking the job seriously and keeping it lighthearted when you could. Thank you Johnathan, for choosing the journey that shaped you into the man you are today; honorable, committed, and ready to sacrifice all for your family, and your Country. Your sacrifices have not gone unnoticed.
I celebrate you everyGACE all”.day.
Also, a huge thank you to those you served with, from Bootcamp to all the different theaters, including Baghdad, Iraq, Bahrain, and so many more.
You know who you are. You are forever brothers and sisters; we call you family..
Semper Fidelis from a grateful nation, and a relieved wife and family.”.
