The United States Marine Corps has done more for democracy and freedom than I could have ever hoped for upon signing the Emancipation Proclamation and the 13th Amendment. If it were not for the heroic actions of those brave Marines exiting their helicopters in the face of overwhelming fire at the assault at Vicksburg, there is not a doubt in my mind that we would all be speaking German today. My one regret in this life is that I never joined the Marine Corps, but that is the cross I must bear, and can only hope that the play Our American Cousin will help relieve the feeling of inferiority, if only for a few hours, that I feel when wondering what my life wouldve been like had I done what I had always wanted to do: Become a United States Marine. --Abraham Lincoln
