HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARINE

Happy Birthday Marine

#231

It seems like only yesterday on 10 November 1775 ,
that the Marine Corps was born

Birthed in a Tavern
A Idea
A Brotherhood

Did they know on that cold November
The very name
United States Marine
would strike fear in the bad guys heart

A name that could strike fear
Would ever sound sound so sweet
to the ears of one held in Captivitey
United States Marine
We're here to get you out

No job to big
No job to small
All done on a shoe string buget

It is not the rifle
Nor is the big guns
Not the tanks running over the crunchies
That make the Marines
That pierces the breath
of those who would oppose us

It is the heart
of the Marine behind
the rifle
and the heart of the Marines
that came before

Happy Birthday
