alhjc6 0 Posted May 15, 2009 A friend's kid is graduating from Marine boot camp in a few weeks. She is wanting to get a big beer mug blasted for him to commemorate the event. Any ideas? Anyone have any Marine Corps stuff they can share? I figured I could put his name, rank and graduation date on one side of the mug. I am drawing a blank on the other side. The Marine Corps logo is just too intricate to cut/week. Thanks in advance! PattyT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Schramm Posted May 15, 2009 How about a Devil Dog? That is the Marine Corps mascot! When I was in the Corp in the 80's everything I wore on my off time had a Devil Dog on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Schramm Posted May 15, 2009 I was thinking and you could do something as simple as "Semper Fi" or something said all the time drinking "OOHRAH!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Peabody 0 Posted May 15, 2009 how about "Keep the faith" - The phrase has special meaning for vets and active military. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Right on, I was in from 91-95. I couldn't agree more, anything with Sempi Fi, the Eagle Globe & Anchor, Devil Dog, an M-16, etc... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
codogs 0 Posted May 15, 2009 Another thing said very frequently is "Semper Fi, Do or Die" When you come out of boot camp you're so motivated you love those kind of sayings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alhjc6 0 Posted May 15, 2009 You Marines have given me some great ideas! Do any of you happen to have some ready-made Marine-type graphics that I could borrow? I am not making money on this deal. My friend (the marine's mom) is barely making ends meet. I figured that it would be my gift to her. Thanks in advance!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
codogs 0 Posted May 15, 2009 Sorry, another idea... "From the Halls of Montezuma to the Shores of Tripoli" It's the Marine Corps Hymn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You might dig through there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest kenya Posted May 16, 2009 In addition to his name, rank and graduation date on one side of the mug, I would also include the place where he served in boot camp. And maybe put, "Once a Marine, Always a Marine". It would be an awesome keepsake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
