Winchesters were carried into every battle of the World Wars and Korea, and Viet NamSmileSmileSmileSmileSmile by the United States Marines. From the M1917 Enfield to the M14, the Winchester, in the hands of Marines, Navy , Army, Air Force, and Coast Guard, won many a battle. Semper Fi Marines. A job well done. Happy Birthday.  Big Larry L/Cpl. USMCR, 1811, (60-68). To all you Vets that served, thank you for your service to our country. Without you, it would not be our country.

Thanks to all!!  This photos of a marker I found in Philadelphia this summer is very appropriate to post for all to enjoy.  I do find it ironic that they started in a pub!!!  While I may not personally be a vet I did go to Catholic school and my father retired as a bird Colonel from the army.  Trust me I have stripes on my backside but not my shoulder patch!!!

Yes, thank you to all of our Vets!

Remember though…. the only good “Marine”, is a Submarine!
