marines birthday

10--november--1775:
is the birthday of when the marines came alive:
the eagle globe and anchor proudly we wear:
our motto semper fidelis we proudly share:
together we stand:
on every shore on any land:
once a marine always a marine:
we are the worlds finest fighting machine:
first to fight never to retreat:
since 1775 the marine corps americas elite:
a marine can weather any storm:
a marine is far from being norm:
a marine will never say die:
over and over again and again he will try:
loyalty sir  discipline sir:
from our boot camp we all remembered that for sure:
the love and brotherhood of a marine :
is just the greatest i have ever seen:


you trust your brother marine with your life:
you stand by him side by side in any turmoil and strife:
a united states marine he is extreme:
he is lean green and mean:
from the desert to the mountains to the shore:
a force of readiness the marine corps:


once a marine always a marine:
until the day you die:
never will a marine quit he will get back up again and again and always try:
happy birthday marines on this tenth of november:
semper--fi  and to all our fallen marines we will always remember:
the love of a fellow marine is honest and pure:
to the end of time will endure:
