A
Marine That I Know
Never did I imagine that I
would ever know a Marine
So determined and strong yet beautifully serene
A man with a mission and an agenda to follow
Twelve hour days can make people somewhat hollow
But nothing could be further from the truth
Generosity and kindness and a great smile is the proof
Admiration flows from me to this Marine and others
Dedication and loyalty to all and their brothers
Never did I imagine that I would ever know a Marine
What other amazing things I will learn about him remains to be seen

"What Is A Marine"
By: Jessica Torres
What is a marine people ask
It is a special person with a life long task
A person who goes through days and nights of training
No matter if the sun is shining or if its raining
This person works to earn a special name
From the time they join they know life won't be the same
They face a lot of things alone
While the ones they love are back at home
They come home then they are gone
Sometimes for awhile, sometimes not so long
They are put in places to fight for our country
Their lives are on the line for us to live free
They are some of many heroes in this world
Whether they are men, women, boys or girls
It takes a special person to make the decision
To fulfill the duty and take on this special mission
This person has honor, courage, respect, dignity, and pride
Its a new life, almost like they put theirs aside
The Marines 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 in deed and helping
me to live so that I can face my fellow Marines, my loved ones and Thee without
shame or fear. Protect my family. Give me the will 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 uniform with dignity, and let it remind me daily of the 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. Amen
