Buck Miller (1921-2018)

Happy Birthday, Marines!

@Oldwelder57 @dsforbesm1 @Smith_WessonInc Yeah, and finding brass has been tough too. Such a fun shooting rifle though.

@usmc1940 @dsforbesm1 @Smith_WessonInc Nice Winchester! Having fun trying to get ammo? I have been reloading for the 25-20. Found a guy on gun broker that is forming 32-20 down to the 25-20. Very reasonable price

what’s the best lever action caliber?

@Oldwelder57 @dsforbesm1 @Smith_WessonInc Very nice. My 1908 25-20. One of my all time favorites.

@dsforbesm1 @Smith_WessonInc Thanks . The 38-55 was made in 1896. Still shoots good. The 25-20 is a 1904 and I had the barrel relined. Shoots like new

@sportsnag Dad said that Uris nailed the 6th Marines' perfectly and was an inspiration for him to write down his own experiences about Guadalcanal, Tarawa and Saipan. Semper Fi

@usmc1940 6th Marines. What did your dad think of Leon Uris's Battle Cry?

VMF-124 on Guadalcanal in February, 1943. Dad and the 6th Marines were there at this time. #USMC

Dad and 3/6 landed on Guadalcanal #OnThisDay 1943 as reinforcements for the final push. He called it truly horrible: pitch-black jungle darkness, Japanese infiltrators in foxholes, mosquitoes/malaria everywhere. No sleep, just survival. #Guadalcanal #USMC 🦅🌎⚓"

#OnThisDay 1991 Marines evacuated 281 from the US Embassy in Mogadishu, Somalia during Operation Eastern Exit. Marines executed the evac using helicopters aboard the USS Guam (pic1) and USS Trenton (pic2). #USMC #SemperFidelis #Marines

#OnThisDay 1928 U.S. Marines participated in the Battle of Quilali, Nicaragua. Photo: A Marine machine gun crew in action operating the Browning M1917A1 .30 caliber machine gun. #USMC

#OnThisDay 1945 VMF-124 & VMF-213 from the USS Essex attacked enemy targets on Formosa & the Ryukyu Islands. This was the first Marine land strike from a US Navy carrier in Marine Corps history. Semper Fi #USMC #WWII #DevilDocs #DevilDogs #SemperFidelis #Marines

Dad’s Baby Belle just turned 9 today. Happy Birthday to one of the sweetest dogs I know.

Happy New Year from Marine Forces Reserve. As 2026 begins, readiness remains the standard—Reserve Marines train, operate with, and prepare every day to answer the call alongside the active component in support of combatant commanders worldwide. #USMC

Happy New Year, Everyone!

Happy New Years Eve, Marines. 🎆 As the sun sets on another year, our legacy endures. The Marine Corps is forever, and so are you. Semper Fidelis! #USMC #SemperFi #NYE

@Xbannedado79645 Merry Christmas 🎄

@usmc1940 merry christmas buck

“Give Me Tomorrow” In the winter of 1950, amidst the harsh cold of the Korean War, a U.S. Marine was asked by a photographer what he wanted for Christmas. His response, "Give Me Tomorrow," resonates with the stark reality of combat. Semper Fi #ChosinReservoir #Christmas

@usmc1940 Amen 🙏🏻💪🏻🇺🇸🦅

@333Popeye3 @PitTalkPodcast1 @KrisVectors Merry Christmas Eve, Doc! Semper Fi My Friend

@PitTalkPodcast1 @KrisVectors You're my target audience. I've been making USMC memes for 10+ years since I started following LtCol Buck Miller @usmc1940. If I see a meme that's interesting/funny/etc, I then start thinking how I can make it Marine. Semper Fi Gunny from Doc.

This has UCMJ violations written all over it but I AM GUNNY HIGHWAY—SF🦅🌎⚓️.
