The Title
It cannot be inherited
Nor Can It Ever be Purchased
You and No One Alive
Can Buy It For Any Price
It Is Impossible to Rent
And It Cannot Be Lent
You Alone And Our Own
Have Earned It
With Your Sweat, Blood And Lives
You Own It Forever
The Title
United States Marine
Marine's Hymn
From the halls of Montezuma
to the shores of Tripoli
We fight our country's battles
in the air on land and sea.
First to fight for right and freedom
and to keep our honor clean
We are proud to claim the title
of United States Marine.
Our flag's unfurled to every breeze
from dawn to setting sun.
We have fought in every clime and place
where we could take a gun.
In the snow of far off northern lands
and in sunny tropic scenes
You will always find us on the job
The United States Marines.
Here's health to you and to our Corps
which we are proud to serve.
In many a strife we've fought for life
and never lost our nerve.
If the Army and the Navy
ever look on heaven's scenes
they will find the streets are guarded
by United States Marines.
Marines Prayer
Almighty Father,
whose command is over all and whose love never fails,
make me aware of Thy presence and obedient to Thy will.
Keep me true to my best self,
guarding me against dishonesty in purpose and deed
and helping me to live so that I can face my fellow Marines,
my loved ones and Thee without shame or fear.
Protect my Family.
Give me the will to do the work of a Marine
and to accept my share of responsibilities with vigor and enthusiasm.
Grant me the courage to be proficient in my daily performance.
Keep me loyal and faithful to my superiors
and to the duties my country and the Marine Corps have entrusted to me.
Make me considerate of those committed to my leadership.
Help me to wear my uniform with dignity,
and let it remind me daily of the traditions which I must uphold.
If I am inclined to doubt, steady my faith;
if I am tempted, make me strong to resist;
if I should miss the mark, give me courage to try again.
Guide me with the light of truth
and grant me wisdom by which I may understand the answer to my prayer.
Lord's Prayer For The Military Wife
Lord, Grant me the greatness of heart see,
the difference in duty and his love for me.
Give me the understanding to know,
That when duty calls he must go.
Give me a task to do each day,
to fill the time when he is away,
And Lord, when duty is in the field,
Please protect him and be his shield.
