THE MARINE SONG by RiflemanRay

[DowntownJackBrown]

Though you would call me Hollywood ... still a Marine is still a Marine ... SEMPER FI brothers.

[RiflemanRay1]

@DowntownJackBrown I have respect for every Marine that made it through boot camp .We are a brotherhood and in my song I'm not showing any disrespect to Marines that went through boot camp on the west coast.I served in Vietnam with true warriors from the west coast.Thank you for your service in the greatest fighting machine....The United States Marine Corps....SEMPER FI....

@RiflemanRay1 Ooh rah



[Astrocatlady]

My cousin Allen just died in May...after surviving Nam and a horrible car crash. He was on a ride on lawn mower...mowing his neighbor's lawn and just bam...had a massive heart attack. Thanks for your service and I liked your song! I'd like to also ask if you like Allen West. I just joined a group, started by a Vet. It's Allen West for President 2012 If you'd like to see him get this country back for us, please join us! Thanks, Donna.

Im trying to find a song sung by Paris Island Marines during the 60s and 70s. You have part of it. It goes like this:

You can have your army khakis and your naval blues,

But today Ill introduce a fighting man to you.

He was trained at Paris Island,

The land that G-d forgot.

The sands were 14 deep and the sun was blazing hot.

Paris I I I Land, Paris I I I Land.

[africancatfish]

I am not a marine but I reconize parts of this.

What About Camp Penalton. We Train In The Mountains.

[RiflemanRay1]

I think that you should write a song about it.I was stationed at Camp Pendelton before I went to Vietnam.When I was in Vietnam my fellow Marines that went through Boot Camp there referred to themselves as Hollywood Marines....RiflemanRay

[cuchulainn12]

We still call them Hollywood Marines (its more or less derogatory).  Good song by the way.

[RiflemanRay1]

I served with Marines in Vietnam who went through boot camp in California and they were some of the toughest Marines in Nam and I'm proud to have served with them....RiflemanRay
