Thank You, all Vets, those who have passed on serving this greatest Country ever and those still serving the United States. Wouldn't it be great if the Marine Corp could have a NCAA Football and Basketball Teams (Men and Women)

I’m not a Marine, retired or otherwise, but nobody with a heartbeat could deny that this tune makes the spirit soar.

Blessing on you Semper Fi.

Thank you for your service

HoooooRay!

Same here... Semper Fi

Thank you for your service.

I was a soldier for 17 years til I was injured. But my best friend growing up was a marine who served in Beirut Thank you sir for your service. Semper fi from an old doggie

Semper Fi, Brother.

My son is a Marine, and just began his next assignment at the base in Fort Worth.

Nice to hear of a young person that want to make good choices in life. I deep respect for those that serve. I never did, sometimes I wish i had, I too love this music.

God bless, hope you become a fine success in life.

All men are created equal and then...United States Marines. Good luck

That is the main reason I don't go to parades anymore, no respect for the flag !!!!

As much as "etiquette for the flag of the country that you live in" may be available on the internet....................putting certain aspects of the state and national government of the country that you live in in the pages of daily newspapers all over your country would get seen be the masses. Using the front section of the newspaper every week for about one whole year to post things like the entirety of The Declaration Of Independence, The Constitution Of The United States, profiles of every president, the name of every state and the geographic location of the capitol city of that state would get people to learn more about "civics" than they currently know. I think one part of the problem (because I have this problem myself) is that people aren't interested in going through the process to keep learning this stuff after high school is over. If it isn't "thrown in your face when you least expect it to be" you'll never decide to go out and search for it yourself. So put it in the newspaper one Saturday every month of the year for the next 4 years or so and people will eventually get around to sitting down and reading the whole thing in their spare time. For example, take a map of all 50 states and color each state a different color than the other 49. Then do a small bio on each state (not necessarily the names of the individual government officials at that time as much as general information about that state and its general history where that information won't likely change for the next 50 years or more) and place all 50 bios on 2 pages in the front section of the daily newspaper in every county in the country. A few weeks later an article on the proper display of the U.S. Flag in every specific type of display that is possible Considering that some people don't know that you're not supposed to fly the flag at night if it isn't lit by direct incandescent light). If I could ever become a member of a government group that serves a population larger than 5,000 I would suggest that in the daily newspaper in that part of the country.

I am Air Force and I can agree with what you say. I have a very nice story about that actually, albeit Young Marines but they do seem to follow the USMC's spirit and discipline pretty well for a youth group. I was in the Honor Guard and we were out doing a colors ceremony for a WW2 memorial. As we suited up, set up, and started marching out to the site, a group of Young Marines were waiting in a parking lot for their own part in the ceremony. As we passed by, their cadet squad leader immediately rallied the rest, formed them up by the road as we marched by, and called them to present arms until we had passed. Very impressed by that. If a bunch of young cadets can do this, then the USMC as a whole is a very impressive branch.

I don't stand for fabric.

Burbing Berries the flag represents the freedom to be jackass like you paid for by the sacrifice of others so crawl back under your rock

Same here, even after a dozen viewings...1973 - 1977.

I will never understand the narcissistic asses on the networks. They pretend to present a program like a parade or some other event & then they don't. Instead they spend the time talking about themselves or some other program, or a current Broadway show, hardly do we get to see the parade. I hate their corny jokes & ignorant remarks. The Macy's Thanksgiving Parade is the worst, where's the parade?

rrclerk68 Yes - lame brain talking heads narrating the obvious.

And they couldn't make the effort to keep in step.

old marching route step.

Ik im 2 years late but yea that was pretty weird lol

I thought that was especially great, too. Quite a bit of history there, starting with the American Revolution, as an earlier poster noted.

Every member of unit bands like this are qualified riflemen, but the Marine Corps Band consist of only professional musicians, they are not Marines as designated by the lyre symbol on their chevron and the split stripe on their blue trousers.

Presumably you have never been to the UK?

Yes agree,as I'm not a citizen of the US, l understood the dough boy from WW1,W11, Korea Vietnam and so on but I'm not familiar with the first. one,does it have any connection with Roosevelt,cheers from Australia

Aye, it's sad that modern society doesn't give military personnel the respect they deserve anymore. There are also less 'Thank you for your service' statements nowadays, but it's the society we live in.

Bull shit

Awesome

Not to nitpick, but just so you know, it is not the Marine Corps Hymn, it is just the Marines' Hymn.

Citizen david Right. They stood for the band but not the flag the proceeded it.

Jean taylor. Your ignorance is showing coward.

As President Harry Truman once said, "There never was a photo op that any marines missed" (or something to that effect). They always seem to be where the video and still cameras are!!

@@mgbsecteacher Truman was a failed haberdasher, and was eaten up with jealousy for the Corps.

Alex Fitch M

everyone is an 0311, and can revert to that when necessary, talking to some who were at Chosin that is exactly what they did.

@@mgbsecteacher I've heard that the Marines' PR skills are second only to their fighting ability. Indeed, those PR skills are why they exist today. After WWII, the Army top brass, Truman, and Eisenhower tried to absorb the Marine Corps into the Army (at the time, the Commandant was not a member of the joint chiefs of staff; he was only consulted on matters related to the Corps.); the Marines mounted a PR campaign with Congress, and as a result they passed a law mandating the USMC with a minimum of four divisions.

They ARE Marines, however the Marine Corps Band are professionals.

Thank you for your brothers service. God bless your family.🇺🇲🙏🏼

+Mike Serot I have never seen marines riding horses before. Are they not a naval unit? Take a look at British marching bands they are great.

No such thing as “were Marines” once a Marine always a Marine. 🇺🇸

Mike Serot Thank you. But, next time could we say Semper Fidelis?
