Our greatest weakness lies in giving up, the most certain way to succeed is to always try just one more time ~ Thomas Edison


When freedom calls is last respects
A marching man with no regrets
The men who serve when duty may call
Who stand so proudly, strong and tall
Each marine must face a time
In hell they serve, through grim and grime
The marines blue dress they wear at home
America the brave, America's their throne
To the people they serve
So ungrateful, O what nerve
To show respect is all I ask
Thus is just a simple task
To stand so proud to say you know
A U.S. marine would greatly show
How much you care for what they do, and the fact they will always be there to protect you
They honor a code, a code of respects
Killing and saving is what they know
Courage and bravery is what they show
Humbled by honor, they fight for a team
Semper Fi do or die, you die a marine

I wrote this because I am joining the marines and I appreciate everything they do for all American citizans

In the first line, I believe "is" should be "its" but this really speaks to me, being a Navy child. Love the rhyming, the piece really benefits from it !
