The most distressing thing is hearing when the youngest Marine was born...:0<br /> I have 2 more to go to (mandatory!) our Chaplain Corps Ball and our battalion ball. I'm being good though - no cake or dessert for me!Jeanette Yuinen Shinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17712459960189461740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37983535.post-76125589922430896282009-11-09T08:39:24.899-08:002009-11-09T08:39:24.899-08:00Thanks Jeff, it was a ball!

Hope you had a good time ...Happy birthday Marines.. Hope you had a good time at the party. Was reading a little about the original resolution to form the two battalions of Marines back in the day. It was made in a place called Tun Tavern. The tavern had an interesting history. One of the first beer joints in the U.S.A., It's owner-bartender was made chief Marine recruiter. It also was home to the first Masonic lodge in America. Ben Franklin used the tavern to organize groups of settlers to fight against the Mohawks. He and George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and other colonial big wigs hung out there.oxeyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15090991809551162388noreply@blogger.com
