My Marine

She could have been a beauty queen,
but she chose instead to be a Marine.

A combat correspondent's role
was her only thought and goal.

Her finishing school was P.I.
(that's where she learned about Semper Fi.)

Although I pray combat she'll never see,
She's as trained and ready as she can be.

So, men, give her the respect she's due,
and never doubt she's tough as you.

Being a Marine is always rough,
but a Woman Marine? That's twice as tough.
