MARINE CORPS SPIRIT

Your Marine Corps Spirit is a way of life, to defend the American way of life.

No one knows where it comes from; why some have it and some don’t. It’s a fighting spirit and it needs to be fed. It’s a calling which can’t be set aside.

Our calling, this fighting spirit lives within us. It conquers fears, doubt, and weakness. It drives us to serve our country and our communities.

It makes us who we are.

It is summed up this way: everyday it stands, to protect those in danger, to serve in the fight whatever shape it takes, as long as there is a struggle.

There will be Marines.

Therefore, every day, no matter where we serve.

We stand, for our nation, our communities, for family, - for us all.

The Few, The Proud, The Marines.

Semper Fidelis
