Moving onward from here….

I couldn’t let the month end without giving the Military some love.

The United States Marine Corps was created on November 10, 1775 by a resolution of the Second Continental Congress. There are currently just over 203,000 United States Marine Corps active duty Marines, and just under 40,000 reserve Marines.

Today is Navy Day…we’ll maybe it is…at least it used to be.  It’s a long story.  Basically Navy Day was October 27th until they discovered that the Navy’s birthday is actually is October 13th.  So they changed it, but October 27th had already stuck.

Anyway….since we missed October 13th (because this blog hadn’t been born yet), we’ll celebrate today as Navy Day with this lens from clouda9:
