This message board is in support of members of the Marine Corps and their relatives, and friends
They shall grow old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning.
We will remember them.
- Laurence Binyon, "For the Fallen"

ECHO TAPS
Day is done,
Gone the sun,
From the lake,
From the hill,
From the sky.
All is well,
Safely rest,
God is nigh.
Thanks and praise,
For our days,
’Neath the sun,
’Neath the stars,
’Neath the sky,
As we go,
This we know,
God is nigh.
Go to sleep,
Peaceful sleep,
May the soldier
Or sailor,
God keep.
On the land
Or the deep,
Safe in sleep.
Echo;
Day is done,
Gone the sun,
From the lake,
From the hill,

Thanks and praise,
For our days,

Safe in sleep.
"Grant them eternal rest, O Lord"
Forgive, O Lord,
The souls of all the faithful departed
From all the chains of their sins
And by the aid to them of your grace
May they deserve to avoid the judgment of revenge,
And enjoy the blessedness of everlasting light.
Amen

"They were the best you had, America,
and you turned your back on them". ~ Joe Galloway ~ Speaking about Vietnam Veterans
You can never do more,
you should never wish to do less."
~ Robert E. Lee writing to his son ~
It must be forged, tested and used.
It must be passed down.
And woven into the very fabric of our souls.
Until it becomes our nature."

31st Commandment of the Marine Corps
Is to give meaning to the present,
And direction to the future."
