It was in a dispatch from the German front lines to their higher headquarters explaining the current battle conditions that described the fighting abilities of the new, fresh Americans as fighting like "Teufel Hunden" or "Hounds from Hell."[4] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil_Dog Whether it's true or legend, I think it's a damn fine nickname, and I'm proud to wear it.

Original Message
On this day, Captain Samuel Nicholas by a resolution of the Second Continental Congress, raised two battalions of United States Marines, thus the birth of the greatest fighting force in history began.
