Next week, on November 10, will mark the Birthday of our beloved United States Marine Corps. Although the Navy Corpsmen and Women didn't have that name then, they have been with us almost always. In 1775, they were known as Loblolly boys. They are usually long-haired drunks who hate Marines but will run through hell to get to a wounded Marine in combat, unarmed with 25 pounds of medical gear and a huge target on their backs.
