"When future generations ask why America is still free and the
heyday of Al Qaeda and their terrorist allies was counted in days
rather than in centuries as the extremists themselves predicted,
our hometown heroes-soldiers, sailors, airmen, Coast Guardsmen,
and Marines-can say,
because of me and people like me who risked all to protect millions
who will never know my name."Marine Major General John F. Kelly

"We stole the Eagle from the Air Force, The Anchor from the Navy and the Rope from the Army.
On the seventh day while God rested,
we overran His perimeter, stole the globe and we've been running the whole show ever since.
We live like Soldiers, talk like Sailors, and slap the hell out of both of them.
Warriors by day, lovers by night, professionals by choice, and Marines by the Grace of God.
United States Marine Corps
"Hell, these are Marines.
Men like them held Guadalcanal and took Iwo Jima.
Bagdad ain't shit."Marine Major General John F. Kelly

Well, Laz, you never got to announce the last second! At least you got the last day in.
"The first time you blow someone away is not an insignificant event. That said, there are some sh-heads in the world that just need to be shot. There are hunters and there are victims.
By your discipline, you will decide if you are a hunter or a victim."

Thank you. I know Jim appreciates it !
Did you see that he got a long standing O when he visited the pentagon
I’m so thrilled! It’s like a dream come true.
"You can overcome wrong technology.
Your people have the initiative, they see the problem, no big deal-
you can't overcome bad culture.
You've gotta change whoever is in charge."

"Be the hunter, not the hunted:
never allow your unit to be caught with its guard down.
Use good judgment and act in best interests of our Nation.
You are part of the world's most feared and trusted force.
Engage your brain before you engage your weapon.
Share your courage with each other
as we enter the uncertain terrain north of the Line of Departure.
Keep faith in your comrades on your left and right and Marine Air overhead.
Fight with a happy heart and strong spirit.
For the mission's sake, our country's sake, and the sake
of the men who carried the Division's colors in the past battles-
who fought for life and never lost their nerve-
carry out your mission and keep your honor clean.
Demonstrate to the world there is 'No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy' than a U.S. Marine."
Marine General James MattisMattis' words in a message to the 1st Marine Division in March 2003,
on the eve of the Iraq War, as quoted in "Eve of Battle Speech" in The Weekly Standard (1 March 2003);
also quoted in War Stories: Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003) by Oliver North, p. 53Source: Wikiquote

"From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day."William Shakespeare, Henry V
