The Title

It cannot be inherited

Nor can it be purchased.

You and no one alive

can buy it for any price.

It is impossible to rent

and it cannot be lent.

You alone and our own

have earned it with

our sweat, blood and lives.

You own it forever.

The Title

United States Marine



'Civilians cannot and will not understand us because they are not one of us.

The Corps-we love it, live it and shall die for it.

If you have never been in it, you shall never understand it."
