All Marines

“All Marines die in either the red flash of battle or the white cold
of the nursing home.

In the vigor of youth or the infirmity of age all will
eventually die but the Marine Corps lives on.

Every Marine who ever lived is living still, in the Marines who claim the title today.

It is that sense of belonging to something that will outlive our own mortality. It is belonging to something which gives people a light to live by and a flame to mark their passing.”
