I being the youngest Marine at the Marine Corps Ball had the honor to cut the cake with the oldest Marine, a Marine who fought in the Battle of Belleau Wood. An honor I will never forget.

I’m a young man who aspires to enlist in the Corps after high school, and I’d like to say that it is the Marines of the past who continue to inspire me to join the best of the best, and defend freedom. ~Future U.S Marine Marcus Delk ⚓️🌎🦅

@andycraddock7677 Жыл бұрын

You go for it Marcus! A young man who has a future planned. Stay in school, graduate (which it seems you’re directly on the path of doing), and pursue your worthy goal of becoming a USM. I am not a veteran, but most family members were/are, including many Marines. My only suggestion to you would be to enroll in as much advanced education (I.e.: University) as your MOS, duty-station and time permits, so you will have additional, in-demand, marketable skills post-enlistment, whether that be six years or a pension 20+. Every single family veteran and friend have given this advice. Best wishes.

The Devil Dogs story is an American invention, it has nothing to do with the Germans. There are examples of it being used in US newspapers six weeks before Belleau Wood actually happened. Kinda embarrassing really makes you wonder what other stories about Belleau Wood aren't true?
