They never called us anything but “Maggot”, “Insane Puke”, “Vomit Encrusted Scum Bucket” or other endearing names UNTIL Graduation Day.
Then and ONLY then had we earned the TITLE of “United States Marine”.
And God-Dammit, NO ONE will ever take that away from me.
The Title
It Can Not be Inherited
Nor Can it Ever be Purchased
You or No One Alive
can Buy It for Any Price
It is Impossible to Rent
and It Can Not be Lent
You Alone and Our Own
have Earned It
with Your Sweat, Blood and Lives.
You Own It Forever
The Title
“United States Marine”
