About this user
so first I wanna say that Jay Murray was a great man. he loved to make people laugh and he always had a smile on his face. he spent 20 years in the United States Air Force and he wouldnt let you forget it either. he was right proud of that fact and he was always givin me hell for it too. always sayin how i should go in the Air Force and not the Navy or Marines. he was always pokin fun at me too. i really miss that. i miss him a lot. and i have so many regrets. theres about a million things i shouldve said and done when i had the chance and i would give the world to be able to go back and do it right. i miss him more and more everyday and its still really hard for me to know that im never gonna be able to tell him all things i shouldve said and do all the things i shouldve done.... R.I.P. Jay Murray, July 7, 1969- June 13, 2010. we love you and we miss you like hell :'(
It is the Soldier, not the minister
Who has given us freedom of religion.
It is the Soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the Soldier, not the poet
Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer
Who has given us freedom to protest.
It is the Soldier, not the lawyer
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the Soldier, not the politician
Who has given us the right to vote.
It is the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag.
We stole the Eagle from the Air Force,
The Anchor from the Navy,
The rope from the Army,
And on the seveth day when God rested,
We over ran His perimeter and stole the Globe
And have been running the show ever since.
Rifleman's Creed:
This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than the enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. My rifle and I know that what counts in war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, or the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit. My rifle is human, even as I am human, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. Before God I swear this creed. My rifle and I are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life. So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy.
Patriot's Creed:
Our names are not known
Being a Marine in the Corps
This is our rise to fame
Patriots like us provide your freedom
Patriots like us secure your liberty
We are patriots in the Marine Corps
And we ask for nothing
What we do is who we are
All we ask is that you honor us
Like we honor our country in war
We honor our country in peaceful times
As we honor our brothers who have fallen
We ask you to remember their sacrifice
We ask you to honor their courage in battle
Your freedom was provided to you
By the blood of fearless men
By the blood of patriots
Our courage is world renown
Our sacrifice makes our country safer
Our bravery makes our country greater
If only you knew how heros lived
Only then would you know how heros died
We are simple soldiers, patriots at heart.
We honor are country with blood and sweat
We fight for freedom so you need not know
The sacrifice we made, the things we saw
So you would not have to witness
The fear we consumed
The hell we endured
But we do the Corps proud and we do it well
Because we uphold the proud traditions
Of the United States Marine Corps
Always vigilant, Always faithful.
