DO YOU KNOW A MARINE?

Marines are the finest fighting force this world has ever known.

As a Marine I was born in a foxhole. My mother is Anger and my father is Pain.

Each moment that I live is a deadly threat upon the life of my country's enemies.

I'm a rough-looking, tough-talking soldier of the sea, but if you can do it, it ain't bragging.

I'm cocky, self-centered, overbearing, and I will not know the meaning of fear, for I am fear itself.

I own the very ground upon which I stand.

I am a green amphibious monster made of blood and guts and know-how, who arose from the sea to prey upon America's enemies across the globe.

I feed upon anti-Americanism wherever it may arise -- their hatred of me only makes me grow stronger.

When my time comes, I will die a glorious death on either the battlefield of combat or the battlefield of life, giving all I am for my God, my country, and my Corps.

My death will buy my sons and daughters one more generation of freedom.

We live like soldiers, talk like sailors, and slap the crap 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, Marine By God!
