โ June 17: Happy Birthday to the United States Navy Hospital Corps! โ
On June 17, 1898, the U.S. Navy officially established the Hospital Corps, creating a profession that would become one of the most respected in military history.
For more than 128 years, Navy Corpsmen have served wherever American sailors and Marines go on ships, submarines, battlefields, disaster zones, and humanitarian missions around the world. They are the medics who run toward danger when everyone else is seeking cover, often providing lifesaving care under some of the most difficult conditions imaginable.
For Marines especially, โDocโ isnโt just a title itโs a badge of trust, respect, and gratitude. Countless Marines owe their lives to the courage, skill, and selfless dedication of Navy Corpsmen who stood beside them in combat.
The Hospital Corps is the most decorated enlisted corps in the U.S. Navy, earning thousands of awards for valor, including numerous Medals of Honor.
Today we honor the men and women who have carried medical bags, worn caduceus insignia, and answered the call to save lives for more than a century.
Fair winds and following seas to every Corpsman past and present. Happy 128th Birthday, Hospital Corps!
Semper Fi, Doc. We never forget who runs toward the wounded.

So DJT can be called a tyrant, pedo, nazi, fascist,racist, bigot, misogynist and thatโs ok but a UFC fighter calling Michelle Obama a man is โdefamation of character.โ Got it ๐
When I was serving in Benghazi, boxing and wrestling had been banned under Gaddafi for over 30 years. When the city finally held a boxing match again, it was a big deal. Most people outside Libya never realized what it represented.
It wasn't just about sports. It was about normalcy. It was about people gathering together, cheering for something other than politics, war, or division.
That's why watching people attack Jack Osbourne or anyone for attending a sporting event is so ridiculous. Around the world, people have fought for the simple freedom to enjoy sports and live normal lives.
Let people watch sports. Let people enjoy sports. Stop turning every event into a political litmus test.
