Semper Fidelis On the tenth day of November In Seventeen seventy-five Two Battalions were formed And the Marine Corps came alive. The Continental Congress Had passed a resolution For a landing force for the fleet A new Navy Institution. Since that day so long ago Through all conflicts of our Nation They’ve fueled stories and folklore And stirred the imagination. They’re usually the first to go The "spearhead" of the fight Some who heard they were coming Have turned tail and took flight. They’ve offered up, gave their All And that continues to this day Standing tall, marching forth To show others, Freedom’s way. Del "Abe" Jones 05-26-2004 Del "Abe" Jones |
