Fallen Marines |
In Memory of You
We’re gathered today to pay tribute to you,
One of the finest, one of the few
You thought more of others, and not of yourself;
You placed all your wants up high on a shelf.
There’s always something bigger than you and
me;
It’s giving up everything for the land of the free.
We came to the Corps to answer the call,
And never once worried if we’d stumble and fall.
Because it’s not about self, the reason we
fight;
It’s about the Marine to our left and our right.
You gave it all for your fellow Marines,
Some whom you knew, and some never seen.
So we’re gathered today in memory of you,
One of the finest, and one of the few.
CWO-2 Maria P. Pettus
