Tribute to United States Marine Corps.
“United States Marine”
It cannot be inherited
Nor can it ever be purchased
“You and no one alive
can buy it for any price.
It is impossible to rent
and it cannot be lent.
You alone and our own
have earned it with
your sweat, blood and lives.
You own it forever.
“Civilians cannot and will not understand us because they are not one of us. The Corps – we love it, live it and will die for it. If you have never been a Marine, you shall never understand.”
