Motivational Quote:

“Some people live an entire lifetime and wonder if they have made a difference to the world, but the Marines don’t have that problem.”
Ronald Reagan

“The man who will go where his colors go without asking, who will fight a phantom foe in a jungle or a mountain range, and who will suffer and die; in the midst of incredible hardship, without complaint, is still what he has always been, from Imperial Rome to sceptered Britain to democratic America. He is the stuff of which legends are made. His pride is his colors and his regiment, his training hard and thorough and coldly realistic, to fit him for what he must face, and his obedience is to his orders. As a legionnaire, he held the gates of civilization for the classical world...today he is called United States Marine.”
LTCOL FEHRENBACH, USA, in "This Kind of War"
