Happy Birthday ... "Marines" |
 |
|
Another year has come and gone
But for the "Corps",
it's been quite long.
" Brothers" and "sisters" still
mourn the loss
of fellow comrades, of war's true cost.
And though they've parted from this land...
They're now assigned... to God's command!
November
10th of every year...
Is when the "Corps", shares
birthday cheer.
That's how it's been throughout the
years...
A lot of laughter, talk, and tears.
Some
reflect on days gone by...
And wonder why they didn't
die?
But then they'll pause, and make a toast...
To fellow Marines, that gave the most!
Then thank the
"Corps", from deep inside
for giving them, unending
pride.
They've always been, a special force
to
take the ground, and stay the course.
And when our
freedom has a threat...
The "Corps" responds... without
regret! |
