I appreciate the spirit, but I thought "former" was the correct usage, and was preferred to the term "ex-Marine"?
Otherwise, I'm not sure how to distinguish folks who have worn the eagle, globe and anchor versus those who are still wearing it.
on a bit of a tangent, the Corps flew a version of the B-25 during WW II. This version was the PBJ-1J, and there is one of these still flying. It shows up at one airshow that I attend regularly, and they sell t-shirts and hats and stuff to raise a few bucks to keep the aircraft fueled and serviced. The aircraft is named "Devil Dog", appropriately enough.

I've got a few of the t-shirts and stuff with the nose art on it, so I get to wear the Devil Dog label quite a bit.
