The Marine's Prayer    
Almighty Father, whose command is over all and whose love never fails, make me aware of Thy presence and obedient to Thy will. Keep me true to my best self, guarding me against dishonesty in purpose and deed and helping me to live so that I can face my fellow Marines, my love ones and Thee to do the work of a marine and to accept my share of responsibilities with vigor and enthusiasm. Grant me the courage to be proficient in my daily performance. Keep me loyal and faithful to my superiors and to the duties my country and the Marine Corps have entrusted to me. Make me considerate of those committed to my leadership. Help me to wear my unifrom with dignity, and let it reming me daily of traditions which I must uphold. If I am inclined to doubt, steady my faith; if I am tempted, make me strong to resist; if I should miss the mark, give me courage to try again.
Guide me with the light of truth and grant me wisdom by which I may understand the answer to my prayer.
    
Soldier
I went were others feard to go,
and did what others failed to do.
I asked nothing from those who gave nothing,
and reluctantly accepted the thought
of eternal lonliness...should I fail.
I have seen the face of terror,
felt the sting cold of fear,
and enjoyed the sweet tast of a moments love.
I have cried,
Pained and hoped....
but most of all,
I have lived times other would only say
were best forgotten.
At least someday I will be able to say
I was proud of who I was...
a
Soldier.

This page is to everyone that has been and still is a soldier. Especially those who gave their lives and those who were prisoners of war. We will never forget all the men and women that shed blood so we can live.
Final Duty
Our final duty to the corps: Remember those who march no more.When "Taps" is played, to say a prayer for all the troops who are not there. To place a flag on a special day beside the man who have slipped away. To read the names etched in stone and let them know they are not alone. For we still stand to complete the tour and remember those who march no more, our final duty to the Corps.
