November 10. Feast Day of Pope Saint Leo the Great.

November 10. United States Marine Corp's Birthday.

A Semper Fi!

To all former and currently serving members of the Fleet Marine Force (FMF).

Especially:

That steadily dwindling number of survivors of Old Foxtrot Two One (F Co. 2/1) -- The Big Outfit -- of Hill 185 / Nui Loc Son fame -- who fought at the Battle of Binh Son I -- or at least like me who watched it from some kilometers distance -- thereby kicking - off Operation Union I.
