The Few and the Proud

The Few and The Proud-Noah Holden Marines come from far and wide, Many have joined the corps and many have died, In 1755 the marines were formed, A marine is a marine in or out of the uniform, I will protect this country and display our flag with pride, As long as I have God, Marines and an M16 by my side, I want to carry on with over 200 years of tradition, I ask God to be with me on every mission, God will serve as my armor and my flack, I can count on the Marines to always have my back, Marine Corps motto is do or die, Instilled in every Marine is a value known as semper fi, You’re a marine even when you put the uniform away, You’ll be one of the few and the proud all the way to the grave, The Corps is my lifelong dream, I hope one day I will become a Marine.
