And each man stands with his face in the light of his own drawn sword. Ready to do what a hero can. Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Four things support the world: the learning of the wise, the justice of the great, the prayers of the good, and the valor of the brave
The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it.
Bravery never goes out of fashion
The legacy of heroes is the memory of a great name and the inheritance of a great example.

Get off your butt and join the Marines!
I learned a great many things in the Marines that helped me as a football coach. The Marines train men hard and to do things the right way, just as a football team must train.
The United States Marine Corps, with its fiercely proud tradition of excellence in combat, its hallowed rituals, and its unbending code of honor, is part of the fabric of American myth.

A Marine is a Marine. I set that policy two weeks ago - there's no such thing as a former Marine. You're a Marine, just in a different uniform and you're in a different phase of your life. But you'll always be a Marine because you went to Parris Island, San Diego or the hills of Quantico. There's no such thing as a former Marine.
Marines are very good at fighting... And if Gen. Franks wants fighters on the ground and he puts Marines in, he'll have what he wants.
Without the brave efforts of all the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines and their families, this Nation, along with our allies around the world, would not stand so boldly, shine so brightly and live so freely.

I have just returned from visiting the Marines at the front, and there is not a finer fighting organization in the world!
Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don’t have that problem.
For over 221 years our Corps has done two things for this great Nation. We make Marines, and we win battles.
Maya Angelou
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.
Freedom is never free.
The more we sweat in peace the less we bleed in war.
Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die.
But the freedom that they fought for, and the country grand they wrought for,
Is their monument to-day, and for aye.
We make war that we may live in peace.
It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you.
This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.
Valor is stability, not of legs and arms, but of courage and the soul.
Moral courage is the most valuable and usually the most absent characteristic in men.
Have the courage to act instead of react.
