All of these Marine heroes are close to my heart, all proud
Marines, my dad, brothers Billy, David and Charles and my adopted little
brother Robert Fitta. Thank you for your service,
love you all. Happy Birthday Marine Corps..
Marine Prayer
Almighty Father, whose command is over all and
whose love never fails, make me aware of Thy presence and obedient to Thy will.
Keep me true to my best self, guarding me against dishonesty in purpose and
deed and helping me to live so that i can face my fellow Marines, my loved ones
and Thee without shame of Fear. Protect my family.
Give me the will to do the work of a Marine and to accept my share of
responsibilities with vigor and enthusiasm. Grant me the courage to be
proficient in my daily performance.
Keep me loyal and faithful to my superiors and to the duties my Country and the
Marine Corps have entrusted to me. Help me to wear my uniform with dignity and
let it remind me daily of the traditions which I must uphold.
If I am inclined to doubt - steady my faith.
If I am tempted - make me strong to resist.
If I should miss the mark - give me the courage to try again.
Guide me with the light of truth and grant me wisdom by which I may understand
the answer to my prayer. Amen
