[hunterguy28]

This isnt motivating, its inspiring

[microboy45]

cant waint Marine all the way

[daniel2177]

9 scumbags dislike this video... what a surprise.

[MrTonyFigg]

Damn, Haerter... It's been quite some time now. The boys from 1/9 won't forget you.

[princemiller1]

They are not only HEROES but deserve a recording contract. Angie has an amazing voice! God bless them all and may they come back safe and healthy.

[ussoldiersm316]

i intend to be a marine next year after high school but how come they are always talking about not having faith in the new generation???

[petersonmd1983]

@ussoldiersm316 cause your generation are all pussies son

[bulldog1879]

@slidernballer that or there in the army....

[FragTheFragger]

@slidernballer

They're all Army sourpusses.

[Kronickenny]

i remember watching this at our ball

[Thatjewkid778]

Oohrah. I can't wait to enlist and serve with these brave men and women. Semper Fidelis.

[khristhelunaboy]

Damn can't believe its almost been two years since I've seen this vid. I was with 1/1 at the Pachenga casino in Temecula when I saw this on the big screen at the birthday celebration. Almost two years and a couple X's later it still stirs the same old motivation as when I first saw it.

[TwoIdiotsTalking]

@thehotawaykid thank u i totally agreee

[TwoIdiotsTalking]

To those who dislike this video u have no heart and no respect, SEMPER FI marines.

[MrCoolBane]

Omg pls dont get me wrong but I things the marines should start teaching common sense. Those soldiers would have still been alive if they shot down the two front truck tires. Com on tink faster pls

[101327]

@MrCoolBane

Stand a post then get back to me.

[MrTonyFigg]

@MrCoolBane Are you serious? You're an idiot. This is coming from someone who has probably never even shot a rifle in their life.

[mannyman03]

3/1 marine kilo co. battle for fulujah 2004-2005 KILL KILL KILL!!!!!!

[Lantho650]

SIT UP STRIAGHT AND LOOK AT ME NOW!!!!

SHE WAS LIKE? FIVEEEEEEEEE 1? BUT WAS LIKE, LIKE, 6 10?

[usmcboy0707]

@Lantho650 gotta do it to know what she means....statement is dead on...

[4really2baked0]

"The Iraqi policeman ran away, while the marines stood and fought".

This just about sums up the United States' Military men and women.

You people think "terrorists" have conviction?

Wait until you see a Marine with a mission to complete before you even talk about who believes in their ideals more!

[joejokester]

I'm 16 right now and can't wait to join, gunna do ROTC but I definatly wanna be a grunt.

SEMPER FI! Do or Die, oorah!

[getintoawheelchair]

[semperfidelis3100]

The Commandant of the Marines is an amazing man no doubt. But we all know that the Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps is the most bad ass guy on the planet haha.

[J0SHakaMARINE]

getting deployed july 3rd.. really nervous, but it will be the best thing ive ever done.

[alm0sthere]

@J0SHakaMARINE Usually everyone's nervous their first time from what I've read I'm 16 and man when I get out of Highschool I'm running to the nearest Recruiter and I'm enlisting.

[jonnytusmc]

[bobandfredpuppet]

@FutureMarine1775USA You're a strange creature.

[kewanee23]

[XxXDeathIsArtXxX]

[jj3771]

[poppopin]

@jj3771 oorah

[The82ndParatrooper]

@jj3771 You better start learning correct spelling then.

[TheAmericanRifleman]

Excellent tribute. Semper Fi Marines.

[abcd1234781]

[FIDsmoggydrizzle]

@abcd1234781 amen to that brother

[FilipinoD4Life]

@grimmfalls Make sure when you do become one if you do, you capitolize Marine.

[ToxStudios]

@FilipinoD4Life Instead of telling him about capitalization you should maybe learn to spell capitalize.

[MRAK47ification]

marines arnt the best ffs theres navy seals and green berrets and i mean theres other groups like spetnaz and British SAS and ffs the marines are the best at what exatcly???

[Grimmfalls]

marines are the heart of this nation with out them we would be weak im proud to say i am going to boot camp in less than two weeks and i will be proud to call my self a marine.

[ihatekate08]

@Grimmfalls Capitalize the word Marine dude. Its a sign of respect

[mechaart]

[mattban420]

[a414669]

@mattban420 lol it's not basic training. If you have joined the Marines its "Boot Camp." Good Luck

[ArtyMarine0844]

@mattban420 that will be my 16 year mark when I stepped on the yellow footprints. 1-17-1995. I still remember it like it was yesterday. Good luck kid. Don't get bored in the DEP and lose your focus. Remember, you are the future of the Corps, don't let us down.

[thedadam1]

/Here's health to you and to our Corps

Which we are proud to serve.

In many a strife we've faught for life

and never lost our nerve.

If the Army and the Navy

Ever look on Heaven's scenes,

They will find the streets are guarded by

UNITED STATES MARINES

[Sphereshock]

I ship to boot camp on January18 th of 2011. I cannot tell you how much motivation and excitement is built up inside me. The day I graduate and get to wear the Marine uniform and become apart of the Marine Corps will be one of the greatest days of my life. Honestly to stand their and think to myself, "I am a United States Marine", will just be amazing. Oorah!

[WannabePFC]

@Sphereshock Wassup man ,, good luck .. I ship out jan 24th .. Maybe ill meet you one day. who knows .. whats youre MOS?

[CalSunHerps]

@Sphereshock My cousin ships out to bootcamp around that time to Camp P, where I hope to also go in 2012. Good luck to you, I also hope the same thing. My parents are against the idea, but I know it's what I want to do with my life. Oorah!

[CalSunHerps]

@Sphereshock My cousin ships off to Marine bootcamp around the same date to Camp P. Maybe you'll see him. I hope to be there in 2012.

[usmcandrew16]

Do you go to San Diego??? because I ship January 18th as well. Good Luck!

[Sphereshock]

[BBOYxAxDOX]

OOOOOH-RAH!!

[meetman3]

Do you feel that these marines would kill their fellow countrymen if they wanted to leave the United States and become their own country like they did in 1861? They fight for freedom for every other country in the world so someone else can be free.

What about the State of Texas? Would they deny this freedom to their own fellow countrymen?

[USMCwarrior085]

@meetman3

If you earned that Eagle, Globe, and Anchor and you stand next to me I wouldn't care if you returned to fight for China, you'd still be my brother.

[dcarrero26]

the price of freedom is blood. semper fidelis!

[koalashooter1]

i think r lee ermey should be in these birthday messages too...

[scottisacow]

My brother is a Marine. If I can serve alongside him, does that make us brothers brothers?

[WannabePFC]

@scottisacow That is dumb.

[gkdrummerboy]

I think I'd gladly join a place where people are just as willing to give their life as I would for them.

[USMCkillbranchy5]

GOOD LUCK to all those who are leaving, hopefully you can carry on the tradition that most marines are lacking, and forgetting what being a marine is all about,

kill bodies, re-enlist, semper fidelis

[Stellarpop1]

at 2:59, how dare they connect such an unscrupulous group as Blackwater to MY Marine Corps! US Marine 86-91

[usmarine2100]

semper-fi marines

[TheGoingpostal101]

im going in 2 days

[yeastori]

pain is weakness leaving the body

[Sloppyff]

@ 5.22 - The Marine seated bottom right hand corner in the poster of LCpl Haerter's platoon is Cpl Nicholas G. Xiarthos who died in Afghanistan on 7/23/09 of wounds sustained while supporting his fellow Marines. Also killed were Sgt Ryan Lane and LCpl Jeremy Lasher.

The glory is in service to others

and we serve not because it is our duty

but because that is our nature.

Semper Fi

[Chrisarequipa80]

despite the politics involved in both wars I will always be proud to have served with the greatest institution on the face of the earth. If anyone has a doubt or has any problems with what i or many like me represent stand the fuck up show your face and we might arrange a meeting to see you... politics is one thing the MARINES is something else but most of you would understand because you dont belong in this club this very exclusive club

[fireutility21]

i joined ove spring break and am leaving nov 1 for San Deigo USMCRD

[1977F150408]

@fireutility21 MCRDSD HOORAH! MCRDPI here in Oct

[one38guitarist]

@fireutility21 no shit? i leave for mcrd san diego the same day. thats badass haha

[JDprieto1484]

There is no greater title than United States Marine. I hope that after i leave next June for boot that I will be among those great men

[himynamelscolin]

@JDprieto1484 me too!

[MaasterButcher]

i leave in 8 months i bet its easy

[theshadowsworld]

@MaasterButcher it actualy isnt you constantly get yelled at have to march for miles with no rest go for so long without eating or sleeping

[hound4680]

@MaasterButcher

lul if you go unprepared... and also the wait time is long but if the marine recruiters see your commited they will cut your time by alot. my brother was suppose to wait 5+ months and he went to boot after 2 months of signing.

marine bootcamp is never easy.

[yeastori]

@MaasterButcher not man, trust, Marine life is hell quote "its the most fun you wish you never have ever again"

[mackservices]

My son is set to leave August 23 for Paris Island. Anyone else going it at that time, I'll see you at graduation. Will be the proudest day of my life!!

[musicanboy669]

sgt alejandra hernandez is beautiful I wonder if she has a facebook lol

[uluvmyballs]

thanks to men like these, america will never be weak

[razorlulu09]

@uluvmyballs nd women

[pheonix1993]

@uluvmyballs America was never weak, thanks to these brave men

[LAO90]

I was interested in the Marine Corp. I am currently a softmore at a University.. After college i want to become a Marine officer but also want to continue with my education which is medical school. I have some questions if you dont mind answering them for me? How long are the deployments in a year such as months? How many times a year? Would I be able to go to medical school during those 4 years? I believe the minimum of years to serve are 4? How can you get more medals? Motor - T

[1977F150408]

@LAO90 If you want medical, do NOT join the Marine Corps. Go Navy, be a Corpsman, youll be indoctrinated into the Marine Corps. EVERY Corpsman is

[scottisacow]

@LAO90 How can you be at any university with grammar that terrible? Also it's spelled sophomore.

[wilsontc123]

Do you do anything special if you're in boot camp on Nov. 10?

[thirdlonghorn]

thats fast i leave june 20 after my high scool grad

[USMC1775FTW]

Semper Fi, United States Marines

[bkkrazy1]

OOOOOORRRRAAAAAHHHHH

can't wait till I join 3 more years and I enlist when I hit 12 grade i'm going to talk to a reicruter

[jrrydha]

im going to OCS in a year, already talking to officers

[MrLila36]

the two guys who spoke at the end with all the medals you can tell they are hardened combat soldiers

[warrior4316]

SEMPER FI

[UFCextra]

This is really inspiring. After completing college, I've realized the only time America ever goes to war is when defenseless people around the world are being harmed. We will always protect those who can not defend themselves. That brings a tear to my eye.

[Xenuism]

@UFCextra Im glad you feel inspired,but college has not served you well.Propaganda gives those reasons for war.

Dont be afraid to be a critical thinker,and to all who still want to be in the corps...try not to hurt a woman or child please.Good luck!

[tankcommander94]

@UFCextra Yeah how do you explain you actions in Vietnam, in Somalia and in countless other places around the the globe. You begin wars to show your military capacity. You fail on almost every account!

[iLeGaCyyyyyyy]

@tankcommander94 GTFO if you're going to troll

[UFCextra]

@tankcommander94 Do you understand Vietnam ? They were Mass Murdering their own civilians, the USA came to stop the genocide . Same with Somalia, the USA came to stop the Genocide . You fail on understanding why the United States enters EVERY SINGLE WAR.

[UFCextra]

@tankcommander94 I can assure you, tomorrow, their will be no shortage of patriots .

[tubub]

@tankcommander94

The same would apply to every single one of those scenarios if you were wise enough to actually study them... but quite clearly you rather just draw sweeping conclusions with absolutely no evidence.

[jesus1443]

@tankcommander94 Bitch get off your pedestal. These Marines do more good than you will ever do in your internet-trolling lifetime. "Tankcommander94", ahahaha you wish you were good enough to be a military man.

[wilsontc123]

@jesus1443 its obvious that he is a military man. He thinks he knows anything about the military because he plays Call of Duty, look at his uploaded videos. He is a tank commander in the game, so he seems to think he actually knows anything about war/the military IRL. pretty pathetic huh?

[uluvmyballs]

@tankcommander94 we fail on almost every account? like how we destroyed the million strong iraqi military TWICE, in nearly 2 weeks? or how we defeated panama in nearly 4 days. Or how we crushed nazi, japanese, and italian forces? or how we beat the british twice? lol learn history.

[warguy911]

@tankcommander94 USMC is the only undefeated american force... Semper Fi

[oddiemonsta]

My birthdays Nov. 10th!! Those guys who died are kick ass

[mfchandler]

i served under sergeant major kent (now sgt major mc) back in 95. He is fair, honest, and has the most perfect physical fitness record in the marine corps. He is a leader of marines.. Thank you Sgt Maj MC Kent -- gLAd that you led marines!

[NuKeAGooK]

thats some motivational trash

[marinesarelife1]

OOOO-FRIGGIN-RRAAAAHHH!!!!

Semeper Fi till the Day I die

[USMC1775FTW]

@marinesarelife1 OORAH! SAY IT PROUD JARHEAD!

[S4LAm4ndr]

Semper Fi, Jarheads... Semper Fi. Ahh the Corps... some of the best and worst times of my life. MOS: 1812, Part of the 1st Marine Regiment, RCT 7, Company A, First Tank Battalion. 2001-05. To any newcomers, dont let anything get in your way. The worst will come to pass, and in the end you will be a stronger person. The DI isnt some evil dictator that goes home and eats babies for dinner, even if it appears so. I wish I chose to stay longer, life hasnt been to kind back in the real world.

[ekiss2010]

I'm leaving in August. I'll admit that I'm a little scared.

[art5301]

@ekiss2010 leaving aug 23 also ooooohhh raaa

[USMC1775FTW]

@ekiss2010 Leaving for boot in august or leving for a TOD?

[HollowMatt]

I've been in 7 years, and I wish I could be a Marine forever, I hate that most Americans will never understand us, what we go through, the pride we feel, but thats just it, thats the pride that bonds us together. I had tears in my eyes when a World War 2 era Marine shook my hand in Bangor Maine when we landed from my first deployment to Iraq, and welcomed me home as a brother, Semper Fidelis is forever tattooed on my heart, and I encourage any and all who want it, to go for it!

[KubanKid912]

I hit recruit training Nov 8th. I cant wait....

[zachsk8]

semper fi

[usmchic]

Im so proud to be a MARINE

i wouldnt change anything...

every min every sec wouldnt change it.!!

[Terp2214]

@smiley0927usmc i leave oct 18 to

[CitrusLizard]

Like many others here I too have had an interest in the Corps for many years, but my plan is to go through ROTC and become an officer for the finest fighting force in the world. I respect the hell out of those who enlist, but I want to go to college first and make a career in the corps.

[Thefinch7591]

I joined the marine corps and i leave december 13. its so far away...

[lexandra7]

OORAH!

[xXThermobaricXx]
