Honor. Courage. Commitment.
The Few. The Proud.
First to fight.
Leathernecks.
Devil dogs.
Uncommon valor was a common virtue.
Semper Fidelis.
Eagle, globe and anchor.
Once a Marine, always a Marine.
Retreat, hell! We just got here.
No matter the nickname or slogan, they all mean one thing:
United States Marine Corps
We have this thing about The Few, The Proud. We love them!
After a person successfully completes their basic training, they have earned the title of United States Marine forever. Even after discharge or retirement they are still a Marine – part of the Band of Brothers.
“Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. The Marines don’t have that problem.” – President Ronald Reagan
The Corps turns 246 on November 10.
To those who have served and are serving:
Happy Birthday to The Few. The Proud.
Semper Fi.
God may come second. Country can come third.
You fight for the Corps first.
