Happy Birthday Marines

November 10th is the birthday of the United States Marine Corps. Okay, so maybe you have to have been a Marine to care but for 233 years members of the Corps have been one of the major defensive strengths of our nation.

A look at the traditions of the Marine Corps will give you some models for community building. There are not ex Marines, only former Marines. Semper Fi! One possible tradition that is more like a value is that the Marine Corps is about the mission. A plan, resources to execute the plan (always in short supply), and most importantly Marines, who bring that plan to life.
