WWII UNITED STATES MILITARY
History - in every century,
records an act that lives forevermore.
We'll recall - as in to line we fall,
the thing that happened on Hawaii's shore.
Let's REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR.
As we go to meet the foe -
Let's REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR
As we did the Alamo.
We will always remember -
how they died for liberty,
Let's REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR
and go on to victory.
~ Don Reid ~
They shall not grow old,
As we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them,
Nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun,
And in the morning,
We will remember them.
~ Elie Frangi ~
Among the men who fought...
uncommon valor was a common virtue.
~ Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz

"DRILL INSTRUCTORS CREED"
These recruits are entrusted to my care.
I will train them to the best of my ability.
I will develop them into smartly disciplined,
physically fit, basically trained Marines, thoroughly
indoctrinated in love of Corps and Country. I will
demand of them, and demonstrate by my own example,
the highest standards of personal conduct, morality,
and professional skill.

It's like you told me once
if we never saw each other again
it wouldn't make any difference
you didn't say it wouldn't matter
you said it wouldn't make any difference
and did you know I understood the nuance?
It was so long ago
but did you know?
