“The primary purpose of the league is to support the U.S. Marine Corps and the families of Marines who are serving. With a large group of Marines in harm's way, we have been called on to take a more active role in the Marine Corps Toys for Tots program and other community projects.”
David Jackson
“He was persuaded that if he joined the Marines he would get a new sense of purpose.”
Rosemary Palmer
“The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!”
Eleanor Roosevelt
“Some people wonder all their lives if they've made a difference. The Marines don't have that problem.”
Ronald Reagan

Carl Schurz

Lane Evans
“We have a wretched motley Crew, in the Fleet; the Marines the Refuse of every Regiment, and the Seamen, few of them, ever wet with salt Water.”
Benedict Arnold
