[USMC] United States Marine Corps. (Land, Sea, and Air)
The United States Marine Corps (USMC) is a branch of the United States Armed Forces responsible for providing power projection from the sea, using the mobility of the U.S. Navy to rapidly deliver combined-arms task forces. The USMC operates posts on land and aboard sea-going amphibious warfare ships around the world. The role of the Corps has since grown and evolved, expanding to aerial warfare and earning popular titles such as "America's third air force" and "second land army". The Marine Corps has distinguished itself as it has served in the majority of American wars, from its inception to the modern era, and attained prominence in the 20th century (1900s) when its theories and practices of amphibious warfare proved prescient and ultimately formed the cornerstone of the Pacific theater of World War II. By the mid-20th century, the U.S. Marine Corps had become a major theorist and the dominant practitioner of amphibious warfare. Its ability to rapidly respond on short notice to expeditionary crises gives it a strong role in the implementation and execution of American foreign policy.
The Death of War - by: Ronald Andrew
The war may be lost or won, a family might lose a daughter or son, until the end we will fight, to enter the future so dear so bright.
The sun may shine so bright, or stay so gloomy dark as night, with the future unknown of what will come, with cries and sorrows we unite as one.
With day so bright nice and dreamy, we fight to the end to avoid the dreary, the end may be dark the hope lost, but we will still fight in the rain or frost.
All may be lost so damp and dead, but we will still fight so you don't dread, the end to die and all is grey, we will continue to fight all night and day.
Semper Fidelis. |
