Sixty men
Dying together
Living alone
Maggots and slimey worms
Crawling through the sand
HatredPainHonor
A warrior born
Tradition and Pride
Mountains of volcanic ash
Rosenthal's glory
Fighting on frozen ground
Not one Brother left behind
Starting life
Grabastic pieces
Becoming in the purest form
A man

Happy 231st Birthday, Marines

I believe this needs to go back to the top. Maybe we don't comment because we don't know what to say, but I bet we are reading.
