The United States Marine Corps is over
220 years of death and destruction.
We are the finest fighting force this world has ever known. I was born
in a foxhole. My mother is Anger and my father is Pain. Each moment
that I live is a threat upon the life of my country's enemies.
I'm a rough-looking, tough-talking soldier of the sea. I'm cocky,
self centered, overbearing, and I do not know the meaning of fear, for
I am fear itself. I am a green amphibious monster made of blood and
guts, who arose from the sea to prey upon enemies across the globe.
I feed upon anti-Americanism whenever it may arise - my hate makes me
grow stronger. And when my time comes, I will die a glorious death on
the battlefield, giving my life for my God, my country and my Corps.
We live like soldiers, talk like sailors, and slap the shit out of
both. We stole the eagle from the Air Force, the anchor from the Navy
and the rope from the Army. On the seventh day, while God rested, we
overran His perimeter, "borrowed" the globe, and we've been running
the show ever since. Killer by day, lover by night, drunkard by choice..
. . .Marine By God!
"If you ladies leave my island, if you survive
recruit training ... you will be a weapon, you
will be a minister of death, praying for war."

THE
MARINE CORPS HYMN
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.
Our flag's unfurled to every breeze from dawn to setting sun.
We have fought in every clime and place, where we could take
a gun.
In the snow of far off northern lands and in sunny tropic
scenes,
You will find us always on the job. The United States
Marines.
