It is not fear that grips me… only a heightened sense of things.

has a most admirable Marine Corps BD post up. Up to and including a list of famous Marines. Go check it out.

“Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. The Marines don’t have that problem.”

UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS BIRTHDAY MESSAGE
10 NOVEMBER 2008

Michelle Malkin has the text posted.

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 ev’ry 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.
