R.I.P. to my father who served as a Marine from 1962-1966, including surviving a tour in Vietnam. He died at the age of 81 on June 14th, 2024. Semper Fi!
Thank you for his service to the country. Without his and his comrades' dedication, we could not live in a free world. May God bless his soul and your family. With respect from a chinese immigrant who accepted into this great country.
@Zack Browning Zack, thank for your kind words. I was 17 and just out of high school when I shipped to MCRD San Diego in June of 1957. The older I get the more I have come to realize that being a Marine is my greatest source of personal pride. Good luck to you, we need more like you these days!
@Zack Browning One of my oldest and dearest friends, Woody Hughes, just passed away at age 95. He was my high school baseball coach and a Marine veteran of Saipan, Tinian and Iwo Jima. His last wish was that every American raise a flag on Feb 23d to honor the memory of the flag raising he witnessed on Mt Suribachi 76 years ago and all those that never returned from that blood-soaked island. If you google his name you will learn more about him. And, if you are able to see the video of his funeral service I am the Marine paying tribute to him.
In all honesty IDC what other branches are like the Marines by far look the most professional outta all of them. DANG THOSE DRESS BLUES ARE STYLISH!!!!
Lawrence Glover well the navy seal training is harder then any other branch Marines are good to but navy seals have harder training some get through the training some don't and Marines are OORAHS!!!!!
The USMC is exceptionally good at what they do. There are very, very few survivors of engagements with the Marine Corps that will question that since 1775 no finer troops ever served anywhere, ever. I've never been a Marine, I've trusted my life to Marines once or twice. II'm a huge fan of their work. Semper Fi.
UFC Pres. Dana White was told by Marines being a UFC Fighter was cool. Then then White replied , There is NOTHING COOLER THAN BEING A UNITED STATES MARINE. Older Marines will understand that the older you get the more it gets to you being a Marine. I was not a great Marine but right now hearing. OUR HYMN makes me cry like a little bitch. You younger Marines from Iraq and Afghanistan have really done the MARINE CORPS Proud. You are truly awesome brave and tough. Nobody stood a chance against you. I came here grieving learning about Gunny Ermey. Semper Fi BROTHER'S
As Ronald Reagan noted: "Some people wonder all their lives whether they've made a difference. Marines don't have that problem." That pretty much sums it up. Semper Fidelis to all my fellow Marines, especially to those now guarding heaven's gates. God bless the United States Marine Corps.
I was a single mother who raised one of you awesome United States Marines. He is a young veteran now. I love all of you men and women. I see a Marine and I smile big with pride has a proud mother. God bless all of you, 🙏🥰❤️🇺🇸
Happy Birthday US MARINE CORPS and all the US MARINES…past and present…knowing you are on duty (even if you aren’t active duty) is comforting. You truly are the BEST!
Not To Be A Bug, But I Was Told By An Ole Marine Vet That There Is A 4th Verse Of The Marine Corp Hymm And He Sang It, He States That For Some Reason That Part Has Been Forgotten, Has Anyone Else Heard That

@@FishingPov101 Was not the Marines who bombed either city, though. It was either the atomic bomb or an estimated 1 million additional Marines'/Sailors'/Soldiers' lives to take Japan. The Japanese were incredibly disciplined, and believed Hirohito was God-Emperor. Thus the Marines in the Pacific theater faced a nation of religious fighters, in the Japanese. Even to this day, we are taught about the fighting spirit of their people and dedication to duty. Much respect from warrior culture to warrior culture, IMO.
My papa served in the UNIUTED Sates navy he was a core man and he fought for our freddom and I am lucky to have him back home and I know the navy coast guard air force and the marines and I know that song from the halls of mountuma to the shores of tripolione
I COULDN'T GET A JIB AFTER MY DISCHARGE BECAUSE THEY CALLED BE A BABY KILLER. THEY CLEARLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED AND THAT THE NORTH VIETNAMESE KILLED THEM AND LIED ABOUT THE MARINES.
