"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling that thinks that nothing is worth fighting for is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

-John Stuart Mill (1868)

"Some people spend an entire LIFETIME wondering
if they made a DIFFERENCE. The MARINES don't have that Problem."

-President Ronald Reagan 1985

MARINE: You earned the title "Marine" upon graduation from 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 may take it away.
It is yours forever.

-Tom Bartlett, Leatherneck Magazine

We stole the eagle from the Air Force,
The anchor from the Navy,
The Rope from the Army,
And on the seventh day when GOD rested,
We overran his perimeter and stole the globe,
And have been protecting our shores ever since.
The UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS

Time tested, proven excellence.

U.S. Marines are about the
most peculiar breed of human
being I have ever had the
opportunity to witness.They treat their service as
if it were some kind of cult,plastering their emblem on
almost everything they own,making themselves up to
look like insane fanatics.
