We salute those who have served on this special occasion. Thank you for your service now and in years past.

On Tuesday, I asked listeners to post photos of Marines from South Jersey on the Lite Rock Facebook page. You can see a gallery of those pictures, below.

I want to wish all the Marines from South Jersey U.S. Marine Corps Reserve who help us each year with Lite Rock's Toys for Tots a very happy 245th Marine Corps birthday!  They are a dedicated and loyal buch. But, of course they are! They are Marines. What else would you expect? Thank you for your service, Gentlemen. Semper Fi.
