[@DonPayne-vt9rq]

You are right sir. Of course the unknown soldier was from the army. It just makes sense that the army take care of their own. We Marines respect the unknown soldier and the army 🪖 as well. We all fight, bleed ,and die for our country. I mean that for all services.

[@paulstebenne8401]

Good program….awhile ago the Marines advertising slogan was” the Marines are looking for a few good men” actually they found them, they are call FMF corpsmen. As a FMF corpsman some 50 yrs I’ve never been prouder to belong to an organization such as the USMC. I miss my fallen brother and honor them. At 75 my job never ends being a corpsmen and now a retired doctor. I still watch over my brothers in their retired years always recognizing in stores, events by the hats they wear proudly. They will always get a hand shake and some even cry meeting a corpsmen form their time in history. Happy birthday 249 yrs my brother and corpsmen who wear the green. God Bless and Semper Fi over the lands and the Seas. And as always I got your 6 and your yellow shot card! Just saying!

[@DonPayne-vt9rq]

When I was serving in Guam in the Marine Corps I had the duty on November 10th 1986. Our commander wanted to run a direct drill on the front gate and I was giving the starring role of the the sweeping team. I was fire team leader and was hauling ass with my combat gear and I broke my knee to the point of "fubar". The next day at naval hospital Guam they stuck a needle in me and I became a drug addict for the rest of my life I had dreams of fighting wars being a hero ended up a drug addict sad but true. Don't feel sorry for me my path was for me to walk and walk it I did now I am on the other side and I am doing okay. My God above has spared me from the endless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I used to be bitter because I thought I missed my chance to be a hero but now I realize no sane man would ever wish combat on himself. Respect for all of our Young warriors who have come back and now face hostel citizens who don't respect what we do or what our country stands for . They are killing themselves at an alarming rate now that they realize they have fought an unjust war for a corrupt government in foreign lands where they killed people who never should have died .PTSD is real and is plaguing our veterans like a cancer . God bless and help them all .

As a retired CWO4, I appreciate the video and what it means to me and all Marines everywhere!

Trivia. During the war of 1812, the British attacked and burned DC. They left one group of buildings standing…the Marines barracks. Because the USMC were the last to leave DC, protecting other troops and civilians as they evacuated from the British Invasion. Those barracks stand today.

[@randycates9577]

I served in the Corps during Vietnam. It was ending when I enlisted (3 days after my 17th Birthday). I followed in my dad's footsteps, he served during the Korean Conflict (E6, 3 Purple Hearts, Bronze Star with V - Valor). Sad that with Social Security, A small Pension and a small monthly disability check, he had to retire in Mexico because he couldn't afford to retire in a military retirement home in the country he fought and bled for. I did little during my service that compares to his combat experiences. Men like him (and there are many) are few and far between. It turns my stomach - and he's rolling over in his grave - to see what the corrupt politicians have done to this country. Giving the benefits "earned" by men like my dad to illegal immigrants makes me want to puke. Vote them out you say, they've corrupted the voting system. Time to step up and take back America. Semper Fi brothers! This ain't over yet. OOH RAH! BTW - to the editors of this video Thank you. One note, The tomb of the unknown soldier is guarded by the Army - fine bunch but, not Marines.

Such a beautiful narration. Did notice a discrepancy similar to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Pronunciation of the battle of "Hue". It is not "Hue" like a Huey hellicopter. But "Hue" like "Way Over There". Semper FI.

[@samadams1867]

"Hue" is Vietnamese, not French. As such, in Vietnamese, the "H" is pronounced. So it's something like "Hway".

[@johnflynn-pk2mk]

@80MReasonWhy In your opening statement a 1:50, U are wrong in UR statement!!!😮 U are full of BS!!! U sound like you are a lime-me! Every U.S. Marine is taught during basic training about the history of the Civil War against King George the III 1775a.d through 1783a.d. and the birth of The U.S. Marine Corp. Every U.S. Marine is given a history lesson on the Decaration of Independece against a tyrannical King! We go into battle defending the Declaration of Indelendence against tyranny, defending the Articles 1 through 7 of the Constitution 1783a.d. thru 1787a.d. and defending our Bill of Rights 1787a.d to 1791a.d. without any modern day convienency we have today. All three of these documents are Federal law for the people, citizens before they take their Oath. Unlawful orders by an officer to fire live ammunition into unarmed civilians, males, woman and children can be refused by any rank in the U.S. Marine Corp as well as the other four branches of our U.S. Military as well as the National Gaurd from 50 states1

[@tamarackgaming]

How do I go about responding to this? The war against King George was the Revolutionary war. 1776. The Civil War didn't start until the 1860's. And no, USMC recruits are not given a history lesson. Chosin, The Boxer Rebellion, Tarawa and Iwo Jima is about the only history we were ever taught with a nod given to Mai Lia. That's it.

[@80MReasonsWhy]

would we have the US without Marines?

[@johnflynn-pk2mk]

@@tamarackgaming In onset of our rebellion against King George III in 1775a.d which then deemed a Civil War against there (fellow English men) was deemed by the King against his godly authority a Civil War.
