The Birth
Philadelphia welcomes a new day,
Snow banks are dirty and gray,
The Sun’s rays reflect strong and bold,
November air remain still and cold.
Doubters still flourish in love of the King,
To the British ways they mindlessly cling,
Sgt Grit is a place where Marines can come and meet other Marines, share tattoos and stories, keep up with Marine Corps news, or shop for USMC gear.
The Birth
Philadelphia welcomes a new day,
Snow banks are dirty and gray,
The Sun’s rays reflect strong and bold,
November air remain still and cold.
Doubters still flourish in love of the King,
To the British ways they mindlessly cling,
If there is one thing I know to be true,
I'm a United States Marine through and through.
My blood is Crimson, my heart is Gold.
I'm one of the Few, The Proud, brave and bold.
I'll fight for Freedom, and would die for it too.
Stand up for Old Glory, Red, White & Blue.
My name is Jerry Collins and I got derailed while doing my homework tonight. I began thinking about some things and before I knew it, I had written what I thought other Marines may also enjoy. I plan on posting it anywhere I can get it posted. A motivational poster maybe? Thanks!
A Fathers Final Message
You never know when that moment will hit you and it always catches you by surprise.
It’s the thought of you leaving that rips through my soul and brings instant tears to my eyes.
Now those moments are more frequent as your time here decreases.
It will be most difficult on your mother as her heart is sure to break into many pieces.
To my brothers in arms take my strength, my courage and my love and go forth into battle.
I say to you come back with the enemy's fear in your hands and the sweat off your back.
We shall celebrate and drink to your victories as brothers.
We few know only the strong, the brave and the fearless can claim the title Marine.
May God stand at the right hand of all our Brothers and Sisters-in-Arms, now and always as they are deployed to far away lands, dedicated to defending the cause of Peace and Freedom. May he comfort them and their families during this Holiday Season. Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
