Hello, All!
I'm sorry, but I'm going to "cross-post" one more--I hope you like it!
So as a backstory, from 1988-1993 I was a proud active duty US Marine! The USMC traditionally celebrates it's birthday on November 10, as it was on November 10, 1775 that the Continental Congress passed a declaration to put soldiers aboard ship to repel boarders. That is the traditional "Marine Corps Birthday," and we turned 251 this year!
So, as a "birthday present" my wonderful wife Jennifer bought me some Eagle, Globe and Anchor post cards, as well as a package of Eagle Globe and Anchor stamps! How cool is that! I have the ability to do a stamp/postcard match (sadly no Maxicard, as there is no "first day of issue" cancellation, and even if there were, you couldn't see it on the front of the post card). I'm still pleased as punch to be able to send some of these out!
So first, I'm going to address one to myself, and send it to myself, for my private collection!
Also, if anyone here is a fan of military history, an old jarhead such as myself, or a Veteran with any military post cards/stamps that you would like to share, I'd love to arrange a swap. Otherwise, they will go into my collection, and will be sent on random exchanges (of course, I will be careful to which countries they go).
That's it! I hope y'all enjoy the pic!
Tom
