For 235 years, United States Marines have earned a privileged place in our hearts. For we know that when there is a tough job to do, we can “send in the Marines,” knowing that they will get the job done.
From Iwo Jima to Inchon, from Khe Sanh to Kandahar, Marines have always been ready to respond whenever and wherever the Nation calls…prepared to meet any challenge or foe…from sea to shore and beyond.
As long as the world is an unstable place, Marines will continue to fight and prevail with the high standards befitting their title…and with the spirit of the Corps that is in the DNA of every warrior privileged to wear the eagle, globe, and anchor.
