Don't make me take you down again. Sit down!

Oh, you still think you're a Marine, pal? Marines don't exist anymore. And I got grunts like you mowing my grass.

Where did you find those coordinates?

But you don't look much like a lawnmower. Think I'll turn you into an overqualified vacuum cleaner.

No, you won't. TARS, back down, please.

You know, you're taking a risk using ex-military security. They're old, and their control units are unpredictable.

It's what the government could spare.

Who are you?

Dr. Brand.

I knew a Dr. Brand once. He was a professor.

What makes you think I'm not?

Wasn't near as cute, either. Please, Dr. Brand. I don't have any idea what this is. Now I'm scared for my daughter and want her by my side. You give me that, I'll tell you anything you want to know.

Get the principals and the girl in the conference room, please. Your daughter is fine. Bright kid. Must have a very smart mother.

It's pretty clear you don't want any visitors. So why don't you just let us back up from your fence and we'll be on our way? Huh?

It's not that simple.

Well, sure, it is. I don't know anything about you. I don't know anything about this place.

Yes, you do.

XL President of the United States: 1981 - 1989

Remarks at a White House Ceremony Marking the Anniversary of the Founding of the United States Marine Corps

November 10, 1986

Commandant and Mrs. Kelley, ladies and gentlemen of the Marine Corps, I'm honored to join you for this traditional ceremony commemorating the founding of the Marine Corps 211 years ago. Now, if I was talking about my own birthday, I would be using a different term here and referring to this as the 172d anniversary of your 39th birthday. [Laughter] But I wish I could be with every marine today to say how grateful America is for all that the Marines have given over the years and give today in the defense of freedom.

Yes, in these 211 years, whenever America has called, the Few and the Proud have been there, in places like names with Belleau Wood and the Argonne Forest, Guadalcanal, Saipan, Okinawa, the Chosin Reservoir, Khe Sanh, and Grenada. From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli the men of the United States Marine Corps have fought with a consistency of courage and skill unparalleled in the history of man. Everywhere they've landed, those of the Eagle, the Globe, and the Anchor have taken with them a spirit that all the world knows today and respects. As Ernie Pyle, the legendary World War II war correspondent wrote: "The source of that spirit is that a Marine just plain considers himself a better soldier than anybody else." And he might have added the Marines have never given anyone any reason to think differently. The Marines have always hit the beaches hard. They never leave their men on the battlefield. And let me just say that's not only a Marine tradition. In Southeast Asia, we will write no final chapters, we will close no books, until we have a return of all who may be alive, a fullest accounting of all those missing in action, and repatriation of the remains of those who died serving our nation. Like the Marines, America will not leave its men on the battlefield.

So, yes, whether raising the flag over Iwo Jima or in the daily duty of guarding our Embassies around the world, the Marine Corps spirit has been an inspiration to generations of Americans. And the Marine Corps strength has been among our surest guarantees of America's security around the world. The corps today is almost 200,000 strong—a far cry from that band that the corps' first commandant, Captain Samuel Nichols, first recruited at Tun Tavern in Philadelphia in the winter of 1775. I saw for myself what the corps has become when I visited the Parris Island graduation this past June, and the commander told me that today's young recruits are the best he's ever seen. To me, that's saying a lot, because I know a few past recruits. I could come pretty close to mustering a platoon of them just by calling a Cabinet meeting.

The Marine Corps motto is Semper Fidelis, "Always Faithful." It's a motto. It's also a tradition—a tradition as old as our blessed Republic and as young as the newest Marine. A tradition of which all Americans are proud. And so, to all who are first to fight for right and freedom, America today says thank you, happy birthday, and God bless you. And I know there's a cake awaiting, but also, there is a general awaiting—General Kelley.

Note: The President spoke at 1:38 p.m. in the Rose Garden at the White House. Following his remarks, there was a cake-cutting ceremony.

Remembering the attempted assassination of Teddy Roosevelt

POSTED 7:19 AM, OCTOBER 12, 2012, BY SHAWN PATRICK, UPDATED AT 08:50AM, OCTOBER 14, 2012

MILWAUKEE -- On Sunday afternoon, October 14th Milwaukee will remember the 100th anniversary of the attempted assassination of Teddy Roosevelt on a downtown street.

By 1912, Roosevelt had already served two terms in the oval office, since he first took over for William McKinley after his assassination in 1901.

Upset by the job his replacement (William Howard Taft) was doing, Roosevelt decided to run again as a third party reform candidate, in what he called the Progressive Party.

Historian John Cooper says Roosevelt's followers had another name for the movement.

"That's what they called the Bull Moose party because somebody asked TR 'how do you feel?' and he said, 'I feel as fit as a Bull Moose,''' said Cooper.

A vibrant 53 years old, there was no stopping Roosevelt at a time when term limits didn't exit.

The only thing in his way were the Republican Taft, and Democrat Woodrow Wilson.

"He wants to get the votes in Wisconsin," said Cooper.

So on October 14, 1912, Roosevelt made his way to Milwaukee as part of his campaign tour.

However, the trip wasn't going well that day.

"The problem was he strained his voice," said Cooper.

Frequent stops and speeches were taking their toll, so that afternoon Roosevelt rested briefly in his room at the old Gilpatrick Hotel on 3rd and Kilbourn, now site of the Hyatt in downtown Milwaukee.

"And then he had come out, and just gotten into his car when John Schrank shot him. Schrank was standing about seven feet away," said Cooper.

Schrank, was later found to be mentally insane, had traveled all the way from Brooklyn, following Roosevelt with the intent to kill him, according to reports at the time.

"He was obsessed with the constitution, and he felt that Roosevelt shouldn't run for a third term, that he must be stopped at all costs," said Anna-Marie Opgenorth, Executive Director of Historic Milwaukee.

Professor Cooper says the bullet's path is probably what saved Roosevelt's life.

"The bullet went through the overcoat, the suit coat, it nicked the side, it went through the edge of the glasses case, and then it went through the pages of the speech, and penetrated his chest," said Cooper.

Roosevelt refused being taken to the hospital, and insisted on giving his campaign speech at the old Milwaukee Auditorium down the street.

His team obliged, despite what happened.

An avid hunter and outdoorsman, Roosevelt felt confident he could go on without immediately seeing a doctor.

"TR claimed that he knew it hadn't entered his lung and he wasn't mortally wounded. He later claimed this because he took a handkerchief, coughed into it and he didn't cough any blood," said Cooper.

Down the block, a crowd of about 9,000 people greeted the one time Colonel with a powerful reception.

"He was introduced, and when he walked on, a huge standing ovation. He said, 'I've just been shot, please be quiet, I can't talk as loud as I normally do,'" said Opgenorth.

The length of Roosevelt's speech that day varies, according to a number of reports, from an hour to almost an hour and a half.

"He began to show the effects of shock and blood loss, and he began to get a bit incoherent," said Cooper.

Eventually the former President would be treated at a Milwaukee hospital before he was rushed to Chicago where doctors decided to leave the bullet in his chest, determining it wasn't a threat to his internal organs.

Cooper says Roosevelt didn't give another speech until two days before the election at Madison Square Garden in New York.

He and Taft would go on to lose the race to Wilson.

Roosevelt would go on to live until January 6, 1919 when he died at his home in Oyster Bay, New York from a blood clot.

But as Professor Cooper says, even during the shooting Roosevelt reminded people, "it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose."

From 3/16/2013 to 10/26/2014 is 589 days
