Semper Fidelis
David Cronk 1977
The brave press forth
Upon command
No venue lost
Air, sea, and land
In light of day
Or dark of night
No force on earth
Shall quell their fight
To shield from harm
Those who intend
Grateful are
Those they defend
The fiercest foes
Do they dispense
With sacrifice
In our defense
In countries name
By any means
The few, the proud
US Marines
