From the halls of Montezuma To the shores of Tripoli,
We fight our countrys battles In the air, on land, and sea,
First to fight for right and freedom , And to keep our honor clean,
We are proud to claim the title Of United States Marines.
Our flags unfurl'd to every breeze From dawn to setting sun.
We have fought in every clime and place Where we could take a gun.
In the snow of far-off northern lands And in sunny tropic scenes,
You will find us always on the job - The United States Marines.
Here's health to you and to our Corps Which we are proud to serve;
In many a strife we've fought for life And never lost our nerve.
If the Army and the Navy Ever gaze on Heaven's scenes,
They will find the streets are guarded By United States Marines.
QUOTE
"First to Fight"
* Marines have been in the forefront of every American war since the founding of the Corps.
They have carried out over 300 landings on foreign shores.
They have served everywhere, from the poles to the tropics.
* Their record of readiness reflects pride, responsibility and challenge.
"Leathernecks"
* The Marines' long-standing nickname goes back to the leather stock or neckpiece,
which was part of the Marine uniform from 1775 to 1875.
* The leather bands around their threats were intended to ensure
that Marines kept their heads erect.
"Devil Dogs"
* In the Belleau Wood fighting in 1918, the Germans received a
thorough indoctrination in the fighting ability of the Marines.
* Fighting through supposedly impenetrable woods and capturing supposedly untakeable terrain,
the persistent attacks, delivered with
unbelievable courage soon had the Germans calling Marines "teufelhunden,"
referring to the fierce fighting dogs of legendary origin.
"Esprit de Corps"
* The "spirit" of a unit. This spirit is commonly reflected by all members.
* It implies devotion and loyalty to the Marine Corps, with deep regard for history, traditions and honor.
"Uncommon Valor was a Common Virtue"
* Refers to the victories in World War II, especially at Iwo Jima, the largest all-Marine battle in history.
* Admiral Nimitz's ringing epitome of Marine fighting on
Iwo Jima was applied to the entire Marine Corps in World War II.
"Jarhead"
* A slang term used by sailors as early as World War II to refer to members of the Marine Corps,
drawing the term from the resemblance of the Marine dress
blues uniform, with its high collar, to a Mason jar.
"Semper Fidelis"
* The Motto of the United States Marine Corps.
* Latin for always faithful. Faithful to God, Country, Family and the Corps.
"Once a Marine, Always a Marine"
* The motto of the Marine Corps League.
* Having earned the title of Marine it becomes a integral part
of who and what we will become later in life.
