'All our best men are laughed at in this nightmare world.' -Jack Kerouac


This line is from "Running Through/Chinese Poem Song," in Kerouac's Pomes All Sizes. The poem was written during Kerouac's later career, after he'd found success with On The Road; the manuscript for Pomes All Sizes was finished a few years before Kerouac's untimely death at the age of 47, after a lifetime of alcoholism. "Running Through" is a stream-of-consciousness lament in Kerouac's typical style, if a little more bleak: "We cant just die -- Men need wine & poetry at least."

Sixty years ago, the United States Marine Corps—as it has throughout our history—demonstrated its vital role as America's Expeditionary Force in Readiness. Just weeks after North Korean Communist forces crossed the 38th Parallel, the First Marine Provisional Brigade landed in South Korea, forming the backbone of the perimeter around the city of Pusan. The efforts of the "Fire Brigade" at Pusan allowed for the daring amphibious landing at Inchon and set the stage for one of the most savage campaigns in our Corps' history—the Chosin Reservoir. As we pause to celebrate our 235th Birthday, we pay special tribute to the Marines of the Korean War and recognize their contributions to our enduring legacy.

This past year marked the end of Marine Corps combat operations in Iraq. Beginning with the invasion in March 2003 and through the next seven years of fighting, our Corps acquitted itself valiantly in the Anbar province and throughout the country. Locations such as Fallujah and Ramadi have taken their place in the illustrious battle history of our Corps. Our efforts in defeating the insurgency helped to build a brighter future for all Iraqis.

For 235 years, at sea and ashore, Marines have succeeded in every clime and place . . . where hardship and adversity have often been the common thread. Today, in the rugged mountains and valleys of Afghanistan—and recently in earthquake-damaged Haiti . . . in flood-ravaged Pakistan . . . or off the coast of Africa—we continue to protect our Nation, just as we did 60 years ago in Korea.

To the Marines and Sailors deployed overseas, to those training and preparing for their next deployment and to the warriors who no longer wear our uniform . . . we honor your selfless service to the Nation. To our loved ones who endure the many difficulties that come with being part of the Marine Family, I want to extend my sincerest thanks for all you have done and all you continue to do.

Happy 235th Birthday, Marines!

Semper Fidelis,

James F. Amos
General, U.S. Marine Corps

'Men dream of women. Women dream of themselves being dreamt of.' -John Berger


John Berger is a painter, art critic and author who won the Booker Prize for his novel G. The art text Ways of Seeing, from which this quote comes, is also a BBC documentary series; it deals with, in part, the way the female nude has been represented throughout the history of visual media. Part of Berger's thesis in its second installment, Painting Nudes and Women, is that women draw identity from the way they're perceived: "Women constantly meet glances which act like mirrors reminding them of how they look or how they should look."
