"They understand that they cannot allow those who have gone before to be let down...they know they can never let that legacy die. Â That's why history is so important... it's part of our ethos... it's part of who we are."
Lt.Gen Ron Christmas (RET)
President, Marine Corps Heritage Foundation
Â
As I get older, I look back on my time in the Marine Corps with more and more pride everyday. Â In comparison to what most may or may not accomplish in their lifetime, I am proud that I earned the title, a title that can NEVER be taken away, NEVER be altered, and NEVER be questioned. Â I am told very often that "I look like a Marine". Â I take that as a compliment, because that IS what I am... a United States Marine, and damn proud of it!

"There are only two kinds of people that understand Marines: Marines and the enemy. Â Everyone else has a second-hand opinion."
