THE TITLE

It cannot be inherited,
Nor can it ever be purchased.
You and no one alive
Can buy it for any price.
It is impossible to rent,
And it cannot be lent.
You alone and our own
Have earned it
With your sweat, blood and lives.
You own it forever.
The title,
United States Marine

Semper Fidelis!

We salute you, and thank you for your service!

~ Dean
