What it means to be... A Marine.
I think this may be one of the best quotes I ever heard.
"I did my duty. I protected my fellow Marines
They protected me, and I am prouder of that
Than that the government decided to give me
the Medal of Honor."
~ Pvt. Hector A. Cafferatta Jr. USMC.
(Chosin reservoir 1950.)
Medal of Honor recipient.

Here is his Citation from Wikipedia.

I of course prefer this one, when asked to describe a Corpsman
"A long-haired, loudmouthed, disrespectful s.o.b., who would walk through the gates of hell to save a wounded Marine."

Happy Birthday, Devil Dogs!
One of the battalions in my Regiment ran their colors in groups of 2 marines, 235 miles and ended in a rededication of their colors. Was pretty cool.
