"THE BREED" By Bob Holtzer
Look at them...who are they??
I'd really like to know.
These gallant young men that stand
ready to defend and challenge our nations foe.
You may ask this question when you come upon this scene,
When there is a crisis in our world and all seems dim, just call
on any
"MARINE."
It was "1775" when they formed into the Corps.
to fight and defend our country on many a distant shore.
The fought in actions around the world and they earned a new
respect,
they served with pride and honor to become known as "LEATHERNECK!"
In World War one at "Belleau Wood" with a courage that few had
seen,
they painted our history with valor,
"DEVIL DOG!! "
a name for a "MARINE."
In World War two in the pacific they planted their courageous
seed,
Then again in Korea and Vietnam to become known as "THE BREED!"
It doesn't matter what action in which they may have served,
they are Marines..."THE BREED!"
an honor well deserved.
In peace they carry the legacy of those that have gone before,
These young men are "THE BREED!"
"The heart of the Corps!!"
