"Today you people are no longer maggots. Today you are Marines. You're part of a brotherhood. From now on, until the day you die, wherever you are, every Marine is your brother. Most of you will go to Vietnam. Some of you will not come back. But always remember this: Marines die, that's what we're here for! But the Marine Corps lives forever, and that means you live forever!" - Gunnery Sergeant R. Lee Ermey
My grandfather was a marine from 43-73, three times awarded the distinguished flying cross. he made it through WW2, Korea, and Vietnam. Had he not come home, I wouldn’t be here typing this today. Semper Fi, Marines. You do your country proud.
“They fought liked devils, they howled like wolves in the night. They make us stay up late, too scared to sleep. It seems that satan has unleashed his devil dogs into us. It’s only a matter of time until they come to fetch our souls.” ~ German Officer, 1918.
I know those words from my grandfather he told us that after WW2 shortly before he died, he was proud of the Marines even he was a german sozi he said never follow a nuts man to my brothers but they had not the🥚🥚to join any forces
How do we know the Marines are badass? The Army and Navy advertises themselves with all the benefits they offer. The Marines advertise by pointing out that by joining, you get to be a Marine.
My dad was a U.S marine for 27 years who fought in the Iraqi war and was never hit with a bullet once. He was in the 2nd battalion and was a Colonel. He worked with Navy SEALs and other marines in Iraq and Afghanistan. When I'm older I wish to join the Marines to be like my Dad and Grandfather.
Honoring my husband, John M. Hopkins, who fought in Viet Nam as part of the 3rd Recon Battalion. He was awarded a Bronze Star and three Purple Hearts. He is interred at Willamette National Cemetery, where I visit him often. When I do, I play this hymn for him. Semper Fi, my love. 💜
“When you’re working with Army and Marine Corps units, you immediately notice a difference. The Army is pretty tough, but their performance can depend on the individual unit. Some are excellent, filled with hoorah and first-class warriors. A few are absolutely horrible; most are somewhere in between. In my experience, Marines are gung ho no matter what. They will all fight to the death. Every one of them just wants to get out there and kill. They are bad-ass, hard-charging mothers.” ― Chris Kyle, NAVY SEAL, American Sniper
Remember devildogs We stole the eagle from the Air Force, the rope from the Army, and the anchor from the Navy. And on the 7th Day, when God rested, we overran His perimeter, stole the globe, and we’ve been running the show ever since. Warrior by day, lover by night, drunkard by choice, Marine by God.
my kids grandpa on their dads side just passed away...he was a marine and served in Vietnam war...he was tough till the end..he fought very hard...he will always be remembered and saluted
"Today, you are Marines. You're part of a brotherhood. From now on, until the day you die, wherever you are, every Marine is your brother. Most of you will go to Vietnam.

My 21 year old son went to Camp Pendleton today, September 11, 2023. I wanted him to go, but it has made me so terribly sad. I hope he's a better person after basic, but I do hope these 13 weeks go by very fast. Best to all the young men and women that have taken this path.
My 19 year old daughter Rachel left for Camp Pendleton on the 25th of September 2023. I can honestly say I understand what you are going through. At the moment we haven’t heard anything from her but are wishing the best. It’s hard not to get upset when you miss your kid with all your heart but at the same time excited at the thought of them standing before you at graduation.
@@adamdyer2286 Thanks for asking. I think he's doing well. At one point he got hand, foot, and mouth and was down for the count for several days. I was worried he would be held back. But they put him back in the mix once he was better and he's on track to graduate with his company/platoon in December. His two siblings, their dad, and I will be going out to see him. Very excited. Thanks for asking again. :)
My brother graduates boot camp in 4 days and he has no idea that me, our older sister, and our grandpa will be accompanying my mom to his graduation! I've been repeating this song while cleaning his room up for him for the passed hour so I can sing it at the ceremony with everyone else. It's gonna be my first plane ride, and I bet it'll be so fun when I get there! It's gonna be great! He's platoon leader too, so that's also amazing!

The continental Army existed before the Marines. US Special Operations teams comprised of Army Special Forces teams (Alpha or A Teams) are the first into combat zones before conventional forces ever step foot in a country we are at war with.
Forgot of MARSOC and Force Reconnaissance. Marines are the first to fight as they are the most mobile, army does have aviation divisions and tanks but marines have it but do it better with better training. Also Army Special Forces teams are called (ODA) Operational Detachment Alpha (3 digit number) Not just "Alpha Teams"
Good fortune to him! Everything he says & does he is NEVER to bring disrespect to his mother or to the Corps of Marines! End of subject! Semper Fidelis devil dog! See you in 30 years!
Love this hymn. My Great Grandpa was in the US Marines in WW2. He joined at just 17 years old. He lied to get in just like any other boy did at that time to go and serve their country. He was wounded at Iwo Jima by a grenade, and was sent back to the states. He passed in 2003 at the age of 77. SEMPER FI Great Grandpa and keep the streets of Heaven guarded.
Nov 3, 2019: I dedicate this song to the memory of my first love, Sgt Manuel R. Martinez of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Manuel was killed on August 22, 1975 when he rolled his blue 240Z Datsun that had been purchased while stationed in Okinawa Japan. He loved the Corps, was a member of the Carpenters Union and the VFW. Only 23 at the time of his death, Manuel is buried at the Santa Fe National Cemetery. (Katrina)
I'm listening to this as I prepare to go on the journey to be a Marine. I have sat on my calling of the US Armed forces for years and told myself I couldn't do it. But life has taken me on a path I'd never thought I'd be on. Now I have no other choice but to listen to my heart and my heavenly father. I finally went to the recruiting office and talked to em I go back in on Saturday to get my physical and Asfab scheduled.
Wow. I thought I was the only one. I also have a photo from me in elementary dressed as a marine with the title "future United States Marine" never thought the time would come
My uncle never left the Marines in civilian life and died like one. Semper Fi! The wounds and battles he survived in Vietnam will be a part of our family as long as oral history continues. Happy Veterans Day to all who have ever served.
❤❤ It doesn't matter how many times I hear the hymn. I get that same wave of pride that just runs up my spine, it's like no time has passed and I'm at that final day of boot. Rah
Interesting United States Marines fact: An Iowa class battleship has 9 16" 50 caliber main guns (caliber in cannons means bore diameters, the guns are 50 16" measures long, breach block face to muzzle). They are capable of firing almost 2 rounds a minute (depending on the deflection of the firing solution). This means an Iowa class battleship can fire a 2700lbs HE shell about every 5 seconds, or a full salvo every 30 seconds putting 24,300lbs of HE on targets out to 20 miles with an accuracy under the area of a tennis ball court. 'Tennis courts are pretty big', you might say....until you have to share one with 12 tons of high explosive and steel shrapnel. With the ammo stores on board a single ship that ship could land shells on anything within 20 miles for almost an hour straight, just a few minutes shy, firing a round every 5 seconds. What does this have to do with the Marines? Well, as evidenced, an Iowa class battleship is entirely capable of boring a hole straight to hell in under an hour. However, the Navy avoids this practice as to not interfere with the Marine's operations. Marines do not die, they go to hell and regroup!
I never had the Honor of serving but I still remember the lyrics of the Marines, Army, and Navy from my youth. We were taught all these songs in music class back when I was 5 or 6 years old.
Amen I play it at sunset at top of my speakers blaring from the end of my dock on the lake because my neighbor is peeping and my boy is working and I don't want to tell him how bad it is. But I give that neighbor this song and He bugged out after 3 plays on first night. Laughed my ass off. Now all neighbors get to hear it every 🌙 at sunset
My dad has alzhimers but he walked in singing this. He can't remember what he just had for lunch but remembered the words to this song. Btw he is from china.
My dad CWO2 George Bebout 3rd MAW was in the Corp for 32 years, when he retired he was 72nd in seniority in the entire Marine Corp. I AM the man I am today due to his values instilled in him by the Marine Corp. He was laid to rest at Arlington National Riverside, CA and my mom has recently joined him. Semper Fidelis
And when he goes to Heaven, To St. Peter he will tell: Another Marine reporting, Sir; I've served my time in hell. Sgt Bruce LaCount 1973-1983 Passed: 10August2020 Sepmer Fi Sir You will be missed, Dad
Ty from a old 65 yrs old marine ,once a marine always a MARINE ,you can take the man out of the MARINE CORPS but never take the MARINE corps out of the man Semper Fi
Even though I'm 10 I still wish to be apart of the hardest branch of the armed forces I've been watching so many videos on what these marines have to do when I'm older I'm willing to see those "yellow footprints" I'm willing to die for my family and for my country. I'm ten and I have big dreams
I wanted to be a Marine, but my mom basically hated me for it. And since I cherished my parents being proud of me over my own happiness, I’m now in seminary absolutely hating every second of my life. Moral to the story - do what you want with your life kids.
Once you're old enough at 18 you no longer need permission from your parents. It's your right to decide. You can leave In her face and she cant do anything about it. Go achieve your dreams. Don't let anyone ever tell you "no"
In the case of my nephew, he was following in his fathers footsteps. It was his grandmother who couldnt handle it. She had a lot of trouble coping with her grandson possibly going into combat.
My neighbor was a Marine after 1968. His hitch ended in 1972 but the only thing he was more proud of than being a Marine was his daughters. Robert D Sere 1950-2022 LCPL USMC Semper Fi!
My Grandfather was on Iwo Jima for the duration of the battle. He was reunited with his maker in 2014 and 2 hours before he peacefully left this earth in his home a loved one played this for him, and in the final stages of his life where he could no longer exude life, his legs and feet beat to the march of this song that he knew and loved. Thank you.
The best thing I can tell you, is that it takes more work that’s you think it does. But, when you finally graduate and look back at all those days of PT and that last week, you’ll smile, and know you just did what thousands before you, and thousands after completed as well. You won’t just be on your own, you will have thousands, heck mabye millions of Marine Brothers ready to help. From a Marine in Tennessee
"MORE THAN SERVICE" Thank you Marine Corps. Your service is appreciated, your Honor and Valor is un parraleled, nothing MATTERS more than our American service men and women. ❤️🇺🇸

Love this hymn. My Great Grandpa was in the US Marines in WW2. He joined at just 17 years old. He lied to get in just like any other boy did at that time to go and serve their country. He was wounded at Iwo Jima by a grenade, and was sent back to the states. He passed in 2003 at the age of 77. SEMPER FI Great Grandpa and keep the streets of Heaven guarded.
Respect.
Nov 3, 2019: I dedicate this song to the memory of my first love, Sgt Manuel R. Martinez of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Manuel was killed on August 22, 1975 when he rolled his blue 240Z Datsun that had been purchased while stationed in Okinawa Japan. He loved the Corps, was a member of the Carpenters Union and the VFW. Only 23 at the time of his death, Manuel is buried at the Santa Fe National Cemetery. (Katrina)

Few are born for it, and most don't understand it, Semper Fi.
I'm listening to this as I prepare to go on the journey to be a Marine. I have sat on my calling of the US Armed forces for years and told myself I couldn't do it. But life has taken me on a path I'd never thought I'd be on. Now I have no other choice but to listen to my heart and my heavenly father. I finally went to the recruiting office and talked to em I go back in on Saturday to get my physical and Asfab scheduled.
Good luck!!!
This was my favorite military hymn song when we sang this in elementary, and now it’s become the branch I’m planning to join after graduation
Did you join?
Wow. I thought I was the only one. I also have a photo from me in elementary dressed as a marine with the title "future United States Marine" never thought the time would come
Dont go.
@@hamie7624 don't think anyone asked for your opinion. Out of all the Marines I've asked 99% said it's the best thing they've ever experienced
@@ttboosted7634 Naw go Air Force
When the Army told me be all I can be, I became a MARINE
Semper Fi all my brothers & sisters.....OOOHHRAAH
My uncle never left the Marines in civilian life and died like one. Semper Fi! The wounds and battles he survived in Vietnam will be a part of our family as long as oral history continues. Happy Veterans Day to all who have ever served.
Army: "we're badasses"
Marines:"aww that's cute"
Rangers: "We beg to differ."
Force Recon: You were saying?
Special Forces: "We said we beg to differ."
Lol I have over 150 years of military service in my blood
Army Compartmented Element: "Hey guys!"
❤❤ It doesn't matter how many times I hear the hymn. I get that same wave of pride that just runs up my spine, it's like no time has passed and I'm at that final day of boot. Rah
My dad was a Marine so was my Great grandfather thank you. Thank you for your sevice or sevicing this country. Sorry for the bad spelling.

Happy Birthday USMC and thank you for your service.
If a Marine goes to hell, he was not punished. He is the punishment.
Interesting United States Marines fact: An Iowa class battleship has 9 16" 50 caliber main guns (caliber in cannons means bore diameters, the guns are 50 16" measures long, breach block face to muzzle). They are capable of firing almost 2 rounds a minute (depending on the deflection of the firing solution). This means an Iowa class battleship can fire a 2700lbs HE shell about every 5 seconds, or a full salvo every 30 seconds putting 24,300lbs of HE on targets out to 20 miles with an accuracy under the area of a tennis ball court. 'Tennis courts are pretty big', you might say....until you have to share one with 12 tons of high explosive and steel shrapnel. With the ammo stores on board a single ship that ship could land shells on anything within 20 miles for almost an hour straight, just a few minutes shy, firing a round every 5 seconds.
What does this have to do with the Marines?
Well, as evidenced, an Iowa class battleship is entirely capable of boring a hole straight to hell in under an hour. However, the Navy avoids this practice as to not interfere with the Marine's operations.
Marines do not die, they go to hell and regroup!
Watching this on the 242nd birthday of the Marine Corps.
God bless The Corps!
I never had the Honor of serving but I still remember the lyrics of the Marines, Army, and Navy from my youth. We were taught all these songs in music class back when I was 5 or 6 years old.
My dad was a marine he just passed away they are doing his burial with full honors with no cost to my family
Thanatos
When you hear this in the distance, you better turn around and run like hell.
You hear this song from all angles, you're trapped.
@@coldfront1961 Or dead.
Nah bro we’ll catch up
Amen I play it at sunset at top of my speakers blaring from the end of my dock on the lake because my neighbor is peeping and my boy is working and I don't want to tell him how bad it is. But I give that neighbor this song and He bugged out after 3 plays on first night. Laughed my ass off. Now all neighbors get to hear it every 🌙 at sunset
Hell you hear it you're already dead
My dad has alzhimers but he walked in singing this. He can't remember what he just had for lunch but remembered the words to this song.
Btw he is from china.
LMAO
Korea or Vietnam
@@vacantaccount9906 i dont think it wise lmfo for most likely an account of pstd
Certain things are ebbedded in our brains. I can quote the hymn in my sleep.
One of my very good friends wants to be a marine and I wish him and everyone else who shares his dream the best of luck and courage to fight and live!
I first learned this anthem in my 5th-grade music class , and have been very proud of it ever since .
I also get chills up my spine! I have been out of The Marine Corps 53 years. Double OOH-RA!!
Since I was a little kid I listen to this song, when I started liking military music, it's very vibrant. Hugs from Brazil
I'm gonna compose this on the piano and sing it for my dad. His birthday is on Christmas Day.
Goodness, I grew up with this song. My dad was a Marine, WWII, Phillipines. He's proudly guarding heaven's streets.
Just saying, THANK GOD FOR THE UNITED STATES MARINES!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
In Honor of my Dad that just Passed Away in September, Once A Marine Always A Marine!!
My dad CWO2 George Bebout 3rd MAW was in the Corp for 32 years, when he retired he was 72nd in seniority in the entire Marine Corp. I AM the man I am today due to his values instilled in him by the Marine Corp. He was laid to rest at Arlington National Riverside, CA and my mom has recently joined him. Semper Fidelis
And when he goes to Heaven,
To St. Peter he will tell:
Another Marine reporting, Sir;
I've served my time in hell.
Sgt Bruce LaCount
1973-1983
Passed: 10August2020
Sepmer Fi Sir
You will be missed, Dad
Rest in peace
Happy birthday from a fellow Marine to all Maines past present and future
Brings tears to my eyes.. God bless you precious soldier. 💪❤💪
My daddy was a Marine and a Radio man in Vietnam before he got his purple heart in 68 or 69. Semper Fi to all of my father's fellow Marines.
God bless all the men and women who have payed the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we hold so dear.
Ty from a old 65 yrs old marine ,once a marine always a MARINE ,you can take the man out of the MARINE CORPS but never take the MARINE corps out of the man Semper Fi
Even though I'm 10 I still wish to be apart of the hardest branch of the armed forces I've been watching so many videos on what these marines have to do when I'm older I'm willing to see those "yellow footprints" I'm willing to die for my family and for my country. I'm ten and I have big dreams
Hey little brother, I could not be more proud of you. I don't have children but I wish you were my son. Your parents are so very proud of you.
🇺🇸
Goodness your 10 yet you sound so mature when it comes to this, oorah lil man
My too brother but I'm 16, Semper fi
@@cody3362 excellent choice my lil brother. Remember this, stay motivated and always, always do the right thing. I'm proud of you.
🇺🇸
Goodspeed little man, i will thank you in advanced
THE BEST WORKOUT MUSIC EVER.
I wanted to be a Marine, but my mom basically hated me for it. And since I cherished my parents being proud of me over my own happiness, I’m now in seminary absolutely hating every second of my life. Moral to the story - do what you want with your life kids.
Once you're old enough at 18 you no longer need permission from your parents. It's your right to decide. You can leave In her face and she cant do anything about it. Go achieve your dreams. Don't let anyone ever tell you "no"
Yup. You only have 1 life.
In the case of my nephew, he was following in his fathers footsteps. It was his grandmother who couldnt handle it. She had a lot of trouble coping with her grandson possibly going into combat.
Thus, could result in you resenting your parents one day. Not too late bud marines even give age wagers sometimes
My cousin was a marine and always be a proud marine. I’m proud of him and all of our veterans from USA armed forces 🇺🇸🇺🇸god bless them 🙏
Happy birthday Marines, November 10, 2023. 248 big ones.
To all Marines past and present.. 🙏 Thank you🇺🇸🇺🇸
My father was in U.S. MARINES as a Police Officer.😊 He passed away in 2010 @ 75 yrs. old.
my sympathy's
Happy Birthday Devil dogs. We were here before this county started, and we will be here after if. Semper Fi.
My brother served the USMC Marines. Thank you all for serving are country.
May God continue to protect and bless all of our dedicated Service Members wherever they may be!
My neighbor was a Marine after 1968.
His hitch ended in 1972 but the only thing he was more proud of than being a Marine was his daughters.

Although I'm british I do have to say our little son is very strong and I wish him all the best oorraahh semper fi
God bless america and all marines 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
My Grandfather was on Iwo Jima for the duration of the battle. He was reunited with his maker in 2014 and 2 hours before he peacefully left this earth in his home a loved one played this for him, and in the final stages of his life where he could no longer exude life, his legs and feet beat to the march of this song that he knew and loved. Thank you.
Happy Birthday and Semper Fi !!!
I'm 14 and I already have the dream of working hard and earning the title of a Marine and to fight for God's Country.
The best thing I can tell you, is that it takes more work that’s you think it does. But, when you finally graduate and look back at all those days of PT and that last week, you’ll smile, and know you just did what thousands before you, and thousands after completed as well. You won’t just be on your own, you will have thousands, heck mabye millions of Marine Brothers ready to help.

Happy birthday to all the Marines 😊 🎂!!!!! And thank you for all you're service!!!!
My response to that, Louis - it was my honor, USMC (WM, 1970-1972). The best 3 years of my young life.
My favorite hymm.
Another one goes like
"Row, row, row your boat
Quietly down the stream
Locked and load, battle mode
United States Marine"
I never met my great grandfather. He served in the Pacific Front and died on the mountain pushing back the Japanese on Iwo Jima.
Happy birthday to our Corps!
Thanks for your service
US Marines were based near me in WW2..salute.and thanks from down under.! 👍🇳🇿
"to the shores of Tripoli" refer to a battle against the Rais Hamidou in the Mediterranean Sea (really fascinating character and certainly one if not the greatest "pirate" in history), and it was the starting point of the hegemony of the United States.
Happy birthday to our great Marines, staunch defenders of freedom!!! And happy veterans day tomorrow to all those who served!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅
Love it. Love our Marines and all of our Military! Thank you all so much for your service!
To the Marines and all our forces, I’m grateful beyond words for your sacrifice. God Bless you all!
