      My grandfather commanded a large Allied hospital in England during WW2. We GM have a photo of Queen (later Queen Mother) visiting the base & being guided by him. Our family heirloom reminds us of the ties that bind our nations together. Britons never will be slaves.

      When my American ex was here in the uk his mom said with all the terrorist attacks he should ring the us embassy in London. He did, they told him he spoke English, so was fair game for terrorists, they didn’t care what accent you spoke it with, British, Australian, Canadian….🤷🏼‍♀️
      It did give me a chuckle because I’d already said he didn’t need to ring them & gave a similar reason why 😂
      His parents and two brothers were in the us navy, he was idle and barely even worked. I could never get my head around naval air station Whidbey having planes…it should just have boats 😂 to my Aspergers way of thinking. A beautiful place to visit, I’d go again if he wasn’t there

    You know what I love best about watching these Marines preform? Is the 'fact' that each and everyone of them does this so very well, and that they are as ready to pick up arms and defend this country under this Constitution as it was written! Within and without these boarders! Not to man, one party, or wanabe dictator! If you want to bring tears to the eyes of a U.S. Marine, just show him another Marine doing his part in service to this country. Be it on the parade ground field or, the field of battle, I guaranty those who live in this country are in the best hands you can be! Semper fi brothers and sisters of the Corps! Stay true, stay safe, I got your back, I know you've got mine!

    Every Saturday afternoon, part of the TV feast is to be reminded of just how many Poms and especially Yanks gave their lives to liberate Europe and especially Eastern Asia. Obviously my own countrymen gave their lives. But I remain confused why so many gave themselves regardless. Godbless all of them.

    Motivate me! I spent almost 8 years in the Corps and got out in 1980. I still love it. I’m proud to say my three sons were also Marines. SEMPER FI!

    I said it once the USMC should do the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, I know the idea would be scoffed at but what greater honour to give our ally than that a symbol of trust between our two great countries we are one big family! God Bless

    수자(Sousa)는 미해병 군악대지휘관을 했다지요? 100곡이 넘게 그가 작곡한 행진곡 중엔 동영상에 들리는 The Stars and Stripes Forever가 있고요. 음악녹음 기술이 없던 19세기까지는 해병대가 거리에서 연주하며 행진하는 걸 듣는 것은 음악회에 자유롭게 가볼 수 없는 많은 국민들이 좋은 음악연주를 직접 듣는 매우 귀한 기회였다고 하더이다. 미국인들은 군악대 중에서도 유서깊은 U.S. Marine Band를 제일 사랑한다네요. 예술적으로도 연주가 탁월하답니다.
    John Phillip SOUSA was the conductor of the U.S. Marine Band. Among more than 100 pieces of marching music he composed is "The Stars and Stripes Forever" that we now hear from this video. Up until the 19th century when we had no technology and skills to record music, the ordinary American people could not afford to enjoy going to the theaters to listen to the real-time musical performances or other shows. However, when the Marine Band marched through the streets, it used to be a very rare chance for the people to hear the real-time musical performances. Americans have loved the Marine Band more than any other military bands. Its performances are said to be artistically excellent, too.

    *I Love Sousa's "Stars and Stripes Forever".* This stirring song has been mined of its many flowing, and dramatic sections; ending up in any march that you've *ever* heard.

      @@johnblahuta8361 There are many US citizens who have honorary knighthoods - including several presidents and generals. They cannot style themselves "Sir" - or "Dame" in the case of a woman - but they can use the letters of the order after their names. Ronald Reagan and George H Bush, for example, were made Knights Grand Cross of the Most Honorable Order of the Bath--or GCB.
