The Old Breed-- The New Breed--The Marine Breed!

"Old Breed? New Breed? There's not a damn bit of difference so long as it's The Marine Breed!" And, of course, the above remark is attributed to Lt. Gen. Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller, USMC (Ret.)

THE MOST DECORATED MARINE IN HISTORY

MARINE CORPS BIRTHDAY
10 NOVEMBER 1775

"Often Tested, Always Faithful, Brothers Forever"

I now know why men who have been to war yearn to reunite. Not to tell stories or look at old pictures. Not to laugh or weep. Comrades gather because they long to be with the men who once acted their best, men who suffered and sacrificed, who were stripped raw, right down to their humanity


Sometimes the ultimate sacrifice is given.
To these people goes the greatest honor.
No medal, no award, just our respect.

SEMPER FIDELIS

OORAH !
