He was a great American, to be sure. That's a great speech, too.
The USMC successfully "branded" itself separately from the US Army, and the "Soldiers of the Sea" nickname is obsolete. So, I guess we won't see that "Soldiers of the Sea" name used anywhere today.

And Gen. Barrow, commandant of the Marine Corps in the late 80's I believe, is from right across the river in St. Francisville. The approaches to the new Mississippi River bridge are named after them.

I don't care what Proverbs has to say about anything, either.

The guy cites the book of Proverbs and dogs Israel and the Jooos at every drop of the hat! Incredible.

Every Marine heard "Soldiers of the Sea" at least at the Marine Corps Ball every year when General Lejeune's 1921 message is read.

Then SOLDIERS OF THE SEA it shall be.
"From the Halls of Montezuma

we Sea Soldiers will fight our country's
battles on the Land, Air and Sea."
" . . . we are proud to claim the title of
SOLDIERS OF THE SEA AAAAA AAAA EEEEE !!! "
That was beautiful.

Ironic since you want us to foot the bill for their security so they can buy cable.

Must have missed out on that fun.

Yup. Nothing like finding an inconsequential fact and mocking him for it.

General LeJeune's 1921 message in part. This is read at every Marine Corps Ball I would guess:
"This high name of distinction and soldierly repute we who are Marines today have received from those who preceded us in the corps. With it we also received from them the eternal spirit which has animated our Corps from generation to generation and has been the distinguishing mark of Marines in every age. So long as that spirit continues to flourish Marines will be found equal to every emergency in the future as they have been in the past, and the men of our Nation will regard us as worthy successors to the long line of illustrious men who have served as "Soldiers of the Sea" since the founding of the Corps."

And if you check the link, you'll see General Lejeune's message as part of the yearly CMC's Birthday Message - year after year. This one happens to be from 2010.

Lobsters
Jeddidiah was thinking of ways to wipe out all of penguin kind by using a spoon and dental floss. Hmmm.... So far he has massacred around uhh...2. He cannot talk because the lobsters are gnawing at his only kneecap he has left, and that is the left one. Oh no!!! The've got ahold of his prostetic knee!! What type of lobsters are they???!!?! He starts to smell some mashed potatoes, they might come in handy in the penguin plan.....
