Well stated undrseige247

From the halls of Montezuma,
To the shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country’s battles
In the air, on land, and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marine.

But you forgot

If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heavens scenes
They will find the streets are guarded by
The United States Marines

OOHRAH!!!

This should have been the nightly news and weekend section of the dead tree media.

Instead we’ve spent at least five years looking for the My Lai Massacre of today, the soldier/killer who comes apart back in the States and kills self or others, etc., etc., etc. What a shame, with so many wonderful military folks doing so many good and brave things.

Looks very good, but having spent 12 months in Anbar and 3 more rounding out the surge to the south of Baghdad, I think I will wait a while! I haven’t even organized all of my own pictures yet. Maybe I will set them to a good soundtrack; I liked the music in the trailer.

Started out as a Navy Corpsman, ended up a Marine. I proudly served with the Marines in Vietnam & to this day consider myself a Marine. Uhra

undrseige247, That glorious hymn is locked into my iPod, played every day in my faltering ears, and still — to this day, after my discharge in 1990 — provides mountains of goose bumps each time it is played.

“Till there be no enemy, but peace.”

It’s more like locked into my brain, everytime I see a Marine hear about a Marine the song pops into my head, I have the same reaction to it when I hear it. I am honored to have served my country under the name Marine. Uhra! Semper Fi
