We are acknowledging the close personal nature of our 10 years at war and the strong bonds of fidelity that Marines have for one another, especially for those fellow Marines who we have lost.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Some people wonder all their lives if they've made a difference. The Marines don't have that problem.
I'm relieved that the state of the Marines' readiness will remain high.
We Marines believe that God gave America the greatest gift He could bestow to man while he lived on this earth -freedom. We also believe He gave us another gift nearly as precious - our soldiers, sailors, airmen, Coast Guardsmen, and Marines - to safeguard that gift and guarantee no force on this earth can ever steal it away.
Spread the gospel that the Marine Corps is a force that has changed. We're not in 1942 anymore.
The Marines was a fresh start - that is why they shave your head. I wish they would let you change your name.
All Marines, sailors and civilian Marines, regardless of sexual orientation, are Marines first. Every Marine is a valued member of our war-fighting team.
My grandfather is a retired Marine, and I've always had a great deal of respect for anyone who serves our country.
The Marines gave me a really strong sense of discipline and a work ethic that kicks in at my job.
We need to honor our troops who served and show our support by giving our men and women who served the best health care, the best educational opportunities, and the best job training available. They deserve nothing less.
The comforting news for every American is that our men and women in uniform, and every Marine, is as good today as any in our history.
