Books:

------------------ “The safest place in Korea was right behind a platoon of Marines. Lord, how they could fight!”(Mgen.Frank E.Lowe, U.S Army; Korea, 36 January 1952) ------------------ “Marines know how to use their bayonets. Army bayonets may as well be paperweights.”(Navy Times; November 1994) ------------------ “Why in the hell can’t the Army do it if the Marines can? They are the same kind men; why can’t they be like Marines?”(Gen. John J. “Black Jack Pershing, U.S Army; 12 February 1918) ------------------ “The raising of that Flag on Suribachi means a Marine Corps for the next five hundred years.”(James Fororrestal, Secretary of the Navy: 23 February 1945) ------------------ “I have just returned from visiting the Marines at the front, and there is not a finer fighting organization in the world!”(Gen. Douglas McArthur, U.S. Army; Korea, 21 Sept. 1950) ------------------ “We have two companies of Marines running rampant all over the northern half the island, and three Army regiments pinned down in the southwestern corner doing nothing. What the hell is going on?”(Gen. John W. Vessey Jr. U.S. Army, Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff) ------------------ “Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they’ve made a difference in this world, but the Marines don’t have that problem.”(Ronald Reagan, U.S. President; 1985) ------------------ "They told (us) to open the Embassy, or “we’ll blow you away.” And they looked up and saw the Marines on the roof with these really big guns, and they said in Somalia, “Igaralli ahow,” which means “Excuse me, I didn’t mean it, my mistake.”(Karen Aquilar, in the U.S. Embassy; Mogadishu, Somalia, 1991) ------------------ “Marines I see as two breeds, Rottweiler or Dobermans, because Marines come in two varieties, big and mean, or skinny and mean. They’re aggressive on the attack and tenacious of the defense. They’ve got really short hair and they always go for the throat.”(Radm. “Jay” R. Stark, U.S. Navy; 10 November 1995)
