It's a funny thing, but, as years go by, I think you appreciate more and more what a great thing it was to be a United States Marine...

Due to the oath I swore to the constitution when I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, by virtue of the universal human right to self defense, in accordance with the Supreme Court case, D.C. vs. Heller, which affirmed that the statutes under which I am being charged are unconstitutional and thus null and void, and on behalf of all freedom loving Americans, I plead not guilty. -- Adam Kokesh
I can never again see a UNITED STATES MARINE without experiencing a feeling of reverence. -- Edward Johnson

My definition, the definition that I've always believed in, is that esprit de corps means love for one's own military legion - in my case, the United States Marine Corps. It means more than self-preservation, religion, or patriotism. I've also learned that this loyalty to one's corps travels both ways: up and down. -- Chesty Puller
