  • The hymn of the United States Marine Corps (From The Halls of Montezuma).
    Lyrics (Even though there are none in this version):
    From the halls of Montezuma,
    To the shores of Tripoli,
    We fight our country's battles
    in the air on land and sea.
    First to fight for right and freedom,
    and to keep our honor clean,
    We are proud to claim the title
    of United States Marine.
    (End lyrics)
    Played by "The President's Own" United States Marine Band!

      My husband is deceased now, and he also thought in Vietnam. I do so appreciate the men that were in that war, and all the other wars that we’ve had in this world. Thank God for our soldiers. I was a very young woman at that time and desperately wanted to join the Marines. But of course my parents would not hear nothing of it. I was only 16 at the time. I still wish to this day I could have been a part of the service I wouldn’t of cared if it was Marines, Navy, or army. I just want to thank you for the service that you have done for this country.

    My father barely graduated high school in June 1941. Six months later he was on Guadalcanal supervising repairs and the airfield for a little outfit known as the Black Sheep Squadron. He never flew but one day Pappy Boyington saluted him, stepping to his cockpit. My dad didn't divulge all this until a few months before his death. Combat vets seldom crow. Semper Fi, sir.

      You are so sweet for saying your thank you to the mothers who raised their sons that became Marines!! I was a single mother their whole life, their father abandoned them while they were in diapers, never saw then, and both of my children, 2 boys, joined the Marine Corps!!!!!!
      13 days after September 11th, my oldest son was on the bus to Parris Island just like others who wanted to get the terrorists that took so many lives, and talk about coincidence, he graduated on his birthday, December 21st!
      My youngest son joined the Marine Corps in 2006, fully knowing that the most vicious murders of innocent people was being filmed by the terrorists and put on their tv channel. There was no reason at all for the decapitation of them. My youngest son wanted to get those guys more than ever. And here's another coincidence... He was born on Flag Day, which is June 14th!

    Jan 5, 2020: I dedicate this to Sgt Manuel R. Martinez, 23, of Albuquerque, who was killed in a car crash on Aug 22, 1975 south of Santa Fe. He was a Marine with a shy grin, warm heart, gentle spirit and a strong work ethic. Manuel was returning to the city after a long work week at the Farmington, New Mexico mines, when he rolled his 240Z Datsun. He trained at Camp Pendleton and served a year in Okinawa. He wrote often....I fell in love with him by the time I graduated from high school. Unfortunately, my mother didn't like him and kept us apart most of the time. Needless to say, I did not handle his death well. *For God did not send his Son Jesus to condemn the world but to save it. John 3:17 Blessings, KATRINA

    My father, my grandfather, and his father all served in the Corps. Great Grandpa went off to fight the Japanese and died on a white sand beach with the sun shining. He died doing what he wanted to do. Grandpa fought the North Koreans in a war no one cared about. He still has Communist shrapnel in his upper legs. Then he fought the Vietnamese in a war everyone hated. He has a glass shard in his upper back. Not from combat, he got off his plane, hugged his mother, and kissed his wife. And didn't see the long-haired man in a tie-dye jacket swinging a bottle at his head. My dad enlisted in 1977 and went through college on the G.I. bill. He was never in a war, but he still was willing to die for this family and his way of life. That's what this country was founded on. And it's what's kept this country strong for as long as it has. And, God willing, it will keep our country strong for another 200 years.

    Complete Lyrics:
    From the Halls of Montezuma
    To the shores of Tripoli;
    We fight our country's battles
    In the air, on land, and sea;
    First to fight for right and freedom
    And to keep our honor clean;
    We are proud to claim the title
    Of United States Marine.
    Our flag's unfurled to every breeze
    From dawn to setting sun;
    We have fought in every clime and place
    Where we could take a gun;
    In the snow of far-off Northern lands
    And in sunny tropic scenes,
    You will find us always on the job
    The United States Marines.
    Here's health to you and to our Corps
    Which we are proud to serve;
    In many a strife we've fought for life
    And never lost our nerve.
    If the Army and the Navy
    Ever look on Heaven's scenes,
    They will find the streets are guarded
    By United States Marines.

When my son was in college and called to tell my he was going to be a Marine, "My initial, quick-before-thinking reaction was a, "Oh, No!! They are the roughest, the toughest, the deadliest, the...." I'm 82 now, have never forgotten my son's immediate response," "Well.... You're right, actually. Always have been, always will be. BUT...for that reason, they have No Need to ACT that way." (That recruiter must have been brilliant). On the other hand, several of the guests when my son married were Marines, and they were a sight to behold...and to meet. Gentlemen one and all...but also easy to see at "The Tip of the Spear." Everyone who becomes a Marine has learned a lot by that point, also a chance to use it to America's benefit, and to a better life for themselves from then on. Always faithful.
