“It is the warrior not the poet who has given us freedom of speech. It is the warrior who serves the flag, serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag. He is the POW who went away one man and came back another- or hasn’t come back at all. It’s the San Diego-Parris Island drill instructor by turning average individuals into Marines, and teaching them to watch each other’s back. The warrior is the parading legionnaire who pins on metals with a prosthetic hand. He is an ordinary, an extraordinary, human being who offered life’s most vital years in the service of his country and his sacrificed life’s ambitions, so others won’t have to sacrifice their own. It is the warrior, a savior, a sword, against the darkness who has nothing more than the finest greatest testimony to and on behalf of the finest and greatest nation ever known.” -2013 USMC Intro to Birthday message.
