On November 10th, 1775 the United States Marine Corps was formed. From fighting the Barbary Pirates, to Belleau Wood, from Guadalcanal, Tarawa, and Iwo Jima, from the Chosin to Saigon, from Beirut to Grenada, from Panama to Kuwait, from Khandahar to Baghdad, everywhere Americans have fought the Marines have been there, steadfast and true. Semper Fidelis indeed.
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven’s scenes,
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.
Nothing else quite so captures the attitude of the Marines as well as that verse
Happy 232d Birthday Marines
