PLEASE INDULGE ME MY FRIENDS...WHY I LOVE MARINES...A LITTLE TRUE HISTORY, THAT I DID NOT KNOW...THE FIRST REASON IS CAUSE MARINES SET SUCH A HIGH STANDANRD FOR THEMSELVES, AND THOSE AROUND THEM-AND WILL ACCEPT NOTHING LESS. ...I LIKE THE WAY MARINES MARCH...I LIKE THE WAY MARINES DO THEIR BASIC TRAINING WHETHER QUANTICO, PARRIS ISLAND, OR SAN DIEGO. ....I LIKE THE FACT OUR BEAUTIFUL MARINES STAY IN SHAPE...I LIKE THE FACT MARINES ONLY HAVE ONE BOSS. THE COMMANDANT. ..I LIKE THE FACT THAT MARINES ARE STUBBORN...BUT WHAT I REALLY LIKE ABOUT THE UNITED STATES MARINES?...IS THE FACT THAT FIRST TO FIGHT ISNT JUST A MOTTO, ITS A WAY OF LIFE. FROM THE DAY THEY WERE FORMED AT TUN TAVERN 221 YEARS AGO, MARINES HAVE DITINGUISHED THEMSELVES ON BATTLEFIELDS AROUND THE WORLD. FROM THE FIGHTING TROOPS OF THE BONHOMME RICHARD, TO THE SANDS OF THE BOMBAY COAST, FROM THE SWAMPS OF NEW ORLEANS, TO THE HALLS OF MONTEZUMA, FROM THE BELLEAU WOOD, TO THE ARGONNE FOREST, TO GUADALACANAL, AND IWO JIMA, AND OKINAWA, AND ICHON, AND CHOSIN RESORVOIR, AND HUE CITY, AND QUANG TRI AND DONG HO, BEIRUIT, AND GRENADA, AND PANAMA, AND SOMALIA, AND BOSNIA. AND A THOUSNAD CORNERS OF THE GLOBE ...MARINES HAVE DISTINGUISHED THEMSELVES BY BRAVERY, STUBBORNESS, AND AGGRESSIVE SPIRIT, AND SACRAFICE, AND LOVE OF COUNTRY AND LOYALTY TO ONE ANOTHER. THEY HAVE DONE IT FOR YOU AND ME...AND THEIR LOVE OF THIS COUNTRY AND OUR FREEDOMS THAT WE ALL LOVE SO DEARLY. ...THEY ASK FOR NOTHING MORE THAN THE HONOR OF BEING A UNITED STATES MARINE...AND THAT IS WHY I ...LOVE MARINES....THEY ASK FOR NOTHING IN RETURN!! SALUTE TO ALL MILITARY, BUT MY HEART IS WITH THE MARINES...FIRST TO GO...FIRST TO DEFEND..GOD BLESS YOU...GOD BLESS MY SON..I AM SO PROUD TO HAVE YOU DEFEND AND HONOR OUR VALUES AND FREEDOMS...
