When I was in the USMC, we never really celebrated it. We did our drinking and BBQ/ing. I guess in the back of our minds, it was us that didn't want to be memorialized eventually. We knew it was part of the risks we took when we raised our right hands. Thankfully, I was in during the 90's, and we never entered a situation in where we could lose someone.
