  • Marine
    "You earned the title "Marine" upon graduation from boot recruit training. It wasn't willed to you; it isn't a gift. It is not a government subsidy. Few can claim the title; no one can take it away. It is yours forever."
    Tom Barlett - Leatherneck Magazine

  • "Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference. The MARINES don't have that problem."
    President Ronald Reagan - 1985

  • "Marines are about the most peculiar breed of human beings I have ever known. They treat their service as if it was some kind of cult, plastering their emblem on almost everything they own, making themselves up to look like insane fanatics...."
    by an anonymous Canadian citizen

  • "It's not the stars or bars you have, not what you wear on your sleeve or shoulder, that determines what you are. It's what you wear on your collar- The Eagle, Globe, and Anchor-
    It is The Title you earned, MARINE That puts you in the Brotherhood of the MARINES.

  • "SOME PEOPLE WONDER ALL THEIR LIVES IF THEY'VE MADE A DIFFERENCE. THE MARINES DON'T HAVE THAT PROBLEM."

  • "If you enjoy your freedom thank a Vet, but hug a Marine."

  • You can take the Marine out of the Corps.. BUT, you can't take the Corps out of the Marine!

  • I was that which others did not want to be,  I went where others feared to go and did what others failed to do, I asked nothing from those that gave nothing and reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal loneliness should I fail, I have cried, pained and hoped; but most of all I have lived times others would say are best forgotten. At least one day I can be proud of what I was and will
    ALWAYS be..."A United States Marine!"
