I just received a copy of the toast supposedly made by General Louis Wilson, Congressional Medal of Honor winner and former Commandant of the Marine Corps at the Marine Corps Birthday celebration a few years ago.
I thought you all would appreciate the sentiment in it. Booty, your son the former Marine,would understand this and perhaps could use it in one of his sermons on "Love". Semper Fidelis
TO LOVE:
"THE WONDERFUL LOVE OF A BEAUTIFUL MAID, THE LOVE OF A STAUNCH, TRUE MAN, THE LOVE OF A BABY, UNAFRAID, HAVE EXISTED SINCE TIME BEGAN.
BUT THE GREATEST OF LOVES, THE QUINTESSENCE OF LOVES, EVEN GREATER THAN THAT OF A MOTHER,
IS THE TENDER, PASSIONATE, INFINITE LOVE, OF ONE DRUNKEN MARINE FOR ANOTHER."

Irish Drinking Toasts
May your glass be ever full. May the roof over your head be always strong. And may you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead.
Here's to me, and here's to you, And here's to love and laughter- I'll be true as long as you, And not one moment after.
Here's to you and yours And to mine and ours. And if mine and ours Ever come across to you and yours, I hope you and yours will do As much for mine and ours As mine and ours have done For you and yours!
Health and life to you; The mate of your choice to you; Land without rent to you, And death in Eirinn.
Here's a toast to your enemies' enemies!
When we drink, we get drunk. When we get drunk, we fall asleep. When we fall asleep, we commit no sin. When we commit no sin, we go to heaven. So, let's all get drunk, and go to heaven!
Here's to a long life and a merry one. A quick death and an easy one. A pretty girl and an honest one. A cold beer—and another one!
Here's to our wives and girlfriends: May they never meet!
