What makes the title Marine so valuable?
You can’t buy the title of Marine. You can’t sell title of Marine. It can’t be traded, it can’t be inherited, it can’t be donated. It must be earned. And you earn it with sweat and discipline. You keep it with sweat and discipline and blood.
Our Corps is one of the most exclusive organizations in the world. Of every thousand Americans, less than one will ever earn the title Marine.
To earn that title you must leave everything behind. Your friends, your family, your way of life, your possessions and the way you think of yourself.
You will be tested harder than you have ever been tested. You will question yourself on why you are there. You will feel pain, fatigue and stress.
But if you are resolute in mind and body you will become part of a legend. You will have earned the same title held by the world’s greatest warriors.
You will earn the respect of all those that value freedom. You will even earn respect from your enemies.
As individuals we are mortal. One day a stone will be above our final resting place. It will not say, we were carpenters, or stock brokers, salesman or lawyers. It won’t list our hobbies or interests.
It will say: our name, the day we were born, the day we died and United States Marine Corps.
That is what makes the title Marine so valuable.
Congratulations to those of you that have earned something that has no price, but for so many before us, it came at great cost.
Happy birthday my brother Marines.

AMEN, brother recon; from a grateful "squid!!!" HAPPY BIRTHDAY - "From the Halls of Montezuma..."
I always tryto thank all those who serving our country, what ever branch of the armed services they're in. THANK YOU VERY MUCH for risking it all to keep us in America safe and free!! I also thank the loved ones of the service men&women, as they are also giving so much for our great country. I can't respect the ones who h**e the brave ones. It's perfectly okay to disagree with war and/or the policies of the natoin, but just appreciate that here n America you are free to disagree,in many parts of the world you'd get k**led for speaking out against the leader. Feel free to disagree, but don't be disrespectful towards those brae enough to stand for us all. THANK YOU&GOD BLESS YOU
