"It is the soldier, not the reporter, Who Has given us Freedom of the Press.
It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us Freedom of Speech.

This is great... Just want to point something out.. Marines are not soldiers. We are Marines. Most people dont pay attention to this. Atleast here in the US, us Marines take pride in what we do and how we distinguish the differnence between the two.. Marines are Marines. Army men are soldiers..
First ones in, last ones out. -- Marines
Always ready-- Marines
First to fight.-- Marines
Save a horse... ride a Marine?? haha just thought i'd throw that one in there..
marine. If u want to get on the fighting side of me just diss one of our military.I know marines r the toughest we have.But in the end it all comes down to being told where to go and when.I wish all our men were able to just surround our borders and keep us safe, But with the nuclear weapons, that is no longer possible.But I wish wer could just not have to fight for any other country.I wish they would fight their own battles and we didint have to.I admire u and respect u.
it seems that moto's are also shared between units of the forces. You mentioned that your moto is "first in - last out" ...... This is our moto aswell as I am a member of an armored Recon unit.
But I hear ya - there are Marines and then there is us.
