The Marines gave me a really strong sense of discipline and a work ethic that kicks in at my job.

Everybody has a purpose.

So the Marine Corps really did teach me to conquer fear, and then to go for higher causes, higher purposes.

As a Marine officer in combat, I was responsible for the lives and safety of all the Marines who served with me.

We hope there is a sense of purpose in everything.

When you get out of the Marine Corps, you feel like you can do anything.

One of the first things I learned in the Marine Corps is that any military mission has to be defined as precisely as you can possibly define it, and then you size the force and equipment force to accomplish that mission without fail.

Some people wonder all their lives if they've made a difference. The Marines don't have that problem.

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.

Purpose is what gives life a meaning.
