Gents:

I thought I had seen most of this kind of stuff, but this one somehow got by me. Just saw it the other day. Hope you enjoy it.

( I especially like the part, ".....and on the seventh day while God rested, we overran his perimeter and stole the globe." Priceless.)

Semper Fi to all of you out there, active, inactive, and those older Marines, like me, on "stand by." USMC Ser #2691263

"Over 232 years of romping, stomping, hell, death and destruction. The finest fighting machine the world has ever seen. I was born in a bomb crater, my mother was an M-1, my father was the Devil. Each moment that I live is another threat against all that is Evil.

"I'm a rogish looking and roving soldier of the Sea. I am cocky, self-centered, overbearing and I do not know the meaning of Fear, for I am Fear itself. I am a green amphibious monster made of blood and guts who arose from the Sea. When my time comes, I'll die a glorious death on the battlefield giving my life for the American way of life.

"We stole the eagle from the Air Force, the anchor from the Navy, the rope from the Army. And on the seventh day, while God rested, we overran his perimeter and stole the globe. We've been in charge ever since.

"We live like soldiers, talk like sailors, and beat the living shit out of both of them every chance we get.

"American by oath, killer by day, lover by night, drunken asshole by choice. And..... Marine by God.!"
