ONCE A MARINE, ALWAYS A MARINE!
“A MARINE IS A MARINE
THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS A FORMER MARINE!”
“You’re a Marine, just in a different uniform and you’re in a different phase of your life. But you’ll always be a Marine because you went to Parris Island, San Diego or the hills of Quantico.”
- General James F. Amos; Marine Corps Commandant 2010-2014
