WE STOLE THE EAGLE FROM THE AIR FORCE, THE ANCHOR FROM THE NAVY AND THE ROPE FROM THE ARMY.​

ON THE SEVENTH DAY WHILE GOD RESTED, WE OVERRAN HIS PERIMETER, STOLE THE GLOBE AND WE'VE BEEN RUNNING THE WHOLE SHOW EVER SINCE.​

I get best wishes from all my Navy friends on this day. It's usually about being part of the Navy's Infantry.

Happy Birthday Teufel Hunden......Always glad you are on our side!

PS -- from a legal standpoint, you are still just a wholly owned subsidiary of the Navy (actually Department of the Navy).
