@ChuckSnow5 You're never alone brother, you'll ALWAYS have Marines to look out for you. Semper Fidelis brother!

@ThePathologist123 It's pretty simple, actually. It's based around G, Em, C, and D. The arpeggio follows the G chord pattern. I could make a lesson for it if you want.

As an old Marine combat veteran I always thought that there were only two types of people who could understand Marines;
1. Marines
2. The enemy they fight.
Jason just might be a third. In any case this a very moving peice of art and I am now remembering (as if I could ever forget) the faces of every young Marine I couldn't bring home alive.
I guess I've got a hell of a night ahead of me...

@allengoodman69 My stepfather was in the Corps. He crossed into Kuwait as a Lance Corporal alongside his father, who was a master gunny.

@gogoandywolf Well said sir, thanks for your service. ( my pop was 101'st Airborne Ranger in '69 ).
I was 21 in 1990 when I joined the Corps after seeing our flag being burned in Iraq on tv. after coming home from work,well...it damned well pissed me off ! For to me, our flag represents all that have fallen,and the survivors still dealing w/ war everyday,since they entered combat. Back to the song,basically at that time, I figured if I died...why not be buried w/ Dress Blues.

Of all the songs in the world written about the war, this one still brings me to a sobbing wreck every time. I'll listen to it knowing damn well that I'm gonna cry. I miss my brothers in arms. Even the ones I didn't have the honor of fighting alongside. I love them all. They are me and I am them. We've done and seen things normal people couldn't do. It wasn't hate. It was love. I miss them all, and I live every day trying to lead by example in their honor.
