November 10, 1775 is the birth date of my beloved Marine Corps. On Saturday, we celebrated the occasion with our annual ball. It is always a nice time. See everyone in their dress blues, the ladies wear dresses, and we get to hear a guest speaker of some magnitude. 2 years ago, I got to meet a medal of honor recipient. This year, I got to meet the commanding general of 4th Marine Division, the one I am in, Lieutenant General McCarthy. He is a nice old man, as most generals are I suppose. The best part of the night has to be when I get to see some of the older and higher ranked Marines out on the dance floor and they are attempting to do the electric slide; it is quite humorous.
