A Marine’s Christmas Wish

Peace on Earth

“From the Halls of Montezuma

To the shores of Tripoli;

An End to All Wars

And if Threatened

We fight our country’s battles

In air, on land, and on sea;

For in the Hour of Need

We will always be

First to fight for right and freedom

And keep our honor clean;

We are Fierce Warriors not Torturers, or Barbarians

We are proud to claim the title

Of United States Marines.”

                                                                  -William Ranney,

                                                       Former Combat Marine
