My mom used to sing this while she cleaned house when I was a little kid. I didn’t know what halls of montezuma and shores of Tripoli were, but I loved the sound of it. She had to explain what marines were too. God bless these guys.

When I joined the Marine Corp in 1971 I knew when the D.I. (drill instructor) got on the bus I had made a mistake. Sergeant ordered us off the bus (with his terrifying voice) and had us line up outside in the rain. Then he had us sing the Marine Corp Hymn! For which I was the only one out of 35 recruits who knew the words...so he made me the platoon leader. I should have been called the Platoon SLAVE! But I lived the Corp.! Sempre Fi!
It's as good a way as any to select the platoon leader when you know nothing else about the recruits. You know the hymn - you're already ahead on the process of becoming a Marine. :D
I was taught that song many many years ago when I was young. My Uncle Pat taught it to me and I did not know it was the Marine Corps hymn! When they started singing I got goosebumps and I knew every word still. I have to admit it brought tears to my eyes.
I was a Drill Instructor with Kilo Co, 3rd Bn, from Apr 76 to May 78, and loved to hear my song day or night. I loved to yell “Get on your feet! They’re playing my song!” Needless to say the entire platoon would jump to their feet and “lock their bodies”. Still motivates me.

I've sang this song so many times over the years. In fact, its over 40 years and remember the first time I heard. My cousin married a Marine back in the late 1970's and it gave me goose bumps and started my absolute patriotic love for my country, the greatest one in the world!. I would have never guessed that after more than 40 years my grandson would be a Marine serving over seas. From a kid who sat around most of the time to going through pre training,, becoming the squad leader half way through was unbelievable. When graduation came at the end of his senior year in high school his recruit sergeant gave him his sash to wear with his cap and gown and the ceremony ended they gave a special standing ovation to him because he was leaving for boot camp. Bother his grandfather and I cried because we were so proud. Today he is learning to be an Aviation mechanic. I am proud to be a grandmother of a Marine, its an honor. I thank you and all Marines for their service. THE FEW THE PROUD THE MARINES! SEMPI FI!

The USMC Story is false. It is a glorified story based on the responsibility it must carry out, but not for the service of "America" Country, but for UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CORPORATION COMPANY INCORPORATED (City State District of Columbia). Look here: On the USMC official site Web, we find that it was founded on Nov. 10 - 1775 and now celebrates 245 years of service. False. Says the first action was in 1776, with the storming of Fort Montagu to seize a British munitions post. NOT. These events were not actually made by "Leathernecks", but by a Company of Militiamen from Philadelphia, very brave and well led. In 1775 there was no "America" Country. Only Continental Colonies and the Colonies did not yet have a Navy. (The Navy was founded in 1798). The USS Constitutión went to sea in Nov. of 1797 and was a reinforced and cannon-adapted merchant frigate. The most heroic action of the USS Const., was in 1812 when it defeated real and the thrut British warships. There were no "Leathernecks" here either. They were sailors against sailors. Then there is Tripoli (1805), where eight "Marines" defeated the Sultan of Morocco. Of course yes it is! LOL Either way, EIGHT soldiers are NOT a Marine Corps. A lot of money was paid by hiring mercenaries and thus Tripoli was taken. And then, Chapultepec, Mexico (1847). No. There were no Marines here either. Still, Marines' Hymn says: “From the Halls of Moctezuma, To the shores of Tripoli…” Which makes imagine a Regiment leaping and heading for the beach ready for combat. Crooked History. Fake Heritage. Fake Heroism. The truth is that USMC was created to protect the City State District of Columbia. It's a Praetorian Guard! An Army that is not part of the Army. A Navy that is not part of the Navy. But, it has its own ships; armored equipment; Air Force that is not part of the Air Force. The need to create a Private Force was seen when 17,000 WWI veterans (Bonus Army), demonstrated in front of the Capitol in 1932, and were evicted by Douglas MacArthur. USA CORPORATION CO. INC. saw with horror that at any moment a Revolution could break out and lose everything. The District of Columbia recalled from the history books that power is unstable and that it depends on the fidelity of the Army… yet ALL Coups come from the Army itself. Recent history told them that the Tsar of Russia was killed by a "spontaneous" Communist Revolution, where his own regular Army betrayed him. The same could happen here: A rogue mob could violently storm the Capitol. The 30's were very difficult times, for this being said, at that, they created their own Praetorian Guard. As Hitler created his Waffen-SS: “Always faithful” or “Semper Fi (Fidelis)”. But Fidelis to whom? To, We the People? Congress? Democracy? Governors of the States? No. Faithful to the District of Columbia and the Institutions that are there: FedRes; FinCEN; IRS; NSA, and others that ARE NOT PART of the Gov’t and that no one can intervene or supervise. USMC is present in the White House, in Camp David, in all the Military Bases of the World; in all Embassies and at strategic points. In this way, nobody can start a Revolution here, cuz all the important points are covered by an Elite Army that is NOT under the command of the Armed Forces; neither Marine nor Air nor Terrestrial. They are independent and at the service of the "President" Oh! Yeah… But of course it is! Surely the President feels safe surrounded by the Army of a Foreign Country that USURPED the land he occupies. Even Air Force One and Two is controlled by the USMC. Where did USMC come from? Here we go: All the Armed Navies in the world have in their ranks sailor soldiers who are in charge of Amphibious warfare; taking ports and beaches (and sabotage), in support of an invasion army. They are called Infantry Mariners. In fact, the Navy still has the SEALS Corps. Well, in 1932 some of these sailor soldiers were taken from Annapolis and placed near the Potomac. They gave them the best training; the best discipline; the best equipment and good pay but, this army had NO HONOR AND HISTORY. As everyone knows, this is extremely important to the morale and pride of any army. So they made it up. They stole the glory of others and attached it to a flag that still had nothing earned. WWII arrived, and they were sent to fight against Japan (They were Not sent against Hitler, but against Japan), and they deservedly earned their medals, especially in Mount Suribashi (Iwo Jima). Many died in Okinawa to achieve the glory of USMC. But The Korean War was bad. Viet Nam was worse. They did not do well in Viet Nam. USMC lost the war against Nam? OMG! Against a poor country, underdeveloped, malnourished, without Navy, without Air Force, without Company of Marines, Green Berets, SEALs, Rangers, Delta Force, Rambos or Chuck Norris. Defeated by a country of peasants without strategic plans, B-52 Bombers, PT-Boats, Atomics Submarines, without Aircraft Carriers, NO Continental Missiles, nor tanks, choppters, Gatlin Machins, Flamethrowers, Napalm, Agent Orange... and to top it off, defeated by an army of Teenagers WITHOUT SHOES who fought with bamboo sticks! Kicked asses and even invaded our Embassy. LOL.
HOORAH, indeed. I usually tear up when I hear this anthem. Have no one in or ever been in the Marines, but it sings to my heart of patriotism and sacrifice. I love that so many of these soldiers were at attention while they were singing. I forgot the most important part of my comment. Thanks to all the brave men and women who sacrifice on our behalf. Thank you for your service.
Barbara, before you burst into tears, dont forget that the armed forces of the usa are paid murderers and will go anywhere Uncle Sam sends them just so he can make a financial profit for himself and his greedy mates.

That's what they were singing in the second battle of ft. Sumter on Sept 8th 1863 . when the confederate army made them all surrendered. And on the first battle of bull run when the confederate army made them run

@@abar7178 no I was only watching it. I am in 🇨🇦 Canada but my uncle was very proud of his time in our army that he wanted to pass that patriotism onto us.
Having a Godfather in the Marines and my Daddy in the Navy I was made to learn both hymns and memorize them too. Haven’t done it in so long I though I forgot. Well, I guess it does stick with you all your life.
As a 73 year old Marine, I still remember my DI telling me to ALWAYS stand at attention when singing the Marine Corps Hymn . Cause it was a HYMN!!!!!!!!! God, Corps and Country!

I am in tears immediately as i read your words!🇺🇸🙏🕊❤️🕊🙏🇺🇸 May God richest blessings be with you and your family as your Son looks down over you from Heaven. And, May God Bless all The Marines and their families.
Thank you so much I'm proud of the soldiers and yes I pray for them and their families. I have respect for our veterans and their families and pray for them as well.
My dad was a marine. I learned the hymn and how to salute before I could speak plainly. If someone asked what my dad did I would say " he a maween" proudly. He was a hard man for a little girl to live with. But I always was proud of his service.
My son, as a Marine, served from 1986 til 1992 and fought in Desert Storm. He is now 54 y/o and I'm still so proud of him and ALL our Marine Corps family. God bless and protect all who are serving and those who served. HAPPY 246TH BIRTHDAY WISHES TO OUR BIG AND BAD UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS !!
WOW, BROUGHT BACK GREAT MEMORIES OF GROWING UP MARINE CORP AT CAMP LEJUENE, MONTFORD POINT NOW NAMED CAMP JOHNSON, THE AIR STATION, AND VISITS TO CHERRY POINT AS WELL. STANDING AT ATTENTION EACH TIME OUR FLAG WAS RAISED OR LOWERED, HEARING TAPS PLAYED FROM FAR OFF, AND FIVE LITTLE KID IN THE BACK OF MY MOM'S CHEVY BEL AIR, NO SEATBELTS OF COURSE, NO A/C OF COURSE AND SINGING THE MARINE CORP HYME AT THE TOP OF OUR VOICES! WOW
I was in 3rd grade on base at Camp Lejeune, 4th & 5th at the school at Montford Point. 6th, 7th, and 8th grades at Cherry Point (50's and early 60's). Then, my dad was in Okinawa and then on independent duty, then to HQMC, then Viet Nam, then back to Camp Lejeune. He retired when he was in the Norfolk, VA, area...not sure exactly where. He was in for around 30 years. I remember the traffic stopping on base at Camp Lejeune when taps was played.
Your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks for keeping us safe out there job well done you should be proud appreciate you guys thanks ! Joe
I am 86 years old and little did I realize in 1957 when I enlisted in the Corps, how proud I would be to say "I am a Marine". Gunny Finger, my Senior DI in Parris Island, told us this and at the time I did not understand". It is A BROTHERHOOD. May God Bless all my Brother Marines. Amen

Enjoy your freedom.
Thank you! That thumb's up gave me a chance to sing with this amazing Marines. Thankfully, no dogs chimed in, no glasses broken, just me singing at the top of my lungs in my living room for noone's pleasure but mine.

In elementary school, we had a school teacher who constantly reminded us on Assembly day that she lost all her family men in the war. As a result, she made us learn and sing all the military songs of all four branches of the United States of America military. Linda Beth Lawson, At the church I used to attend before the COVID-19 pandemic, we had international day wherein each of the twenty nine countries sold their food and did their ethnic skits. I, the American, played 'THAT'S A GRAND OLD FLAG' on my Bflat clarinet. Linda Beth Lawson,
We need something like this in all of our schools. Along with a decent civics class. Knowledge of our world and how to behave has been lost in my opinion. Bring back Civics and Geography with a taste of culture and food for each group represented in each class.
My sister was born on Camp Lejeune while my dad was still in the Marines in 1954, unfortunately she passed a dew years ago at the age of 53 from Lymphoma, My dad died in 1999, he proudly considered himself a Marine all his life and sisplayed his Marine credentials in his office for all to see, Semper Fi.
This made me cry ,I come from a Marine Corps family ,my parents both fought in W W 2+,my daddy was a D.I. at Cherry Point long before I was born,my older brother husband and many of my peers fought in the Vietnam Conflict,all are now deceased,I loved off the base at Camp Pendleton for a year with my husband,then we transferred to Long Beach Naval Station ,where he would stand guard in his dress blues and wave people in the gates …SEMPER FI DO OR DIE!!!! And to every single person who have served our country in every war god bless each of you and keep,up the good work ,you bring honor and irked to,our country.
As one of five children growing up with a WWII veteran Marine as our father, my dad made sure we all knew that song verbatim et literatim. If we faltered we were put on KP. 😊
I had 3 cousins in the Marines during Vietnam. I joined the USAS and served for 24 years. Still don’t know the words to the AF anthem but I still have the Marine theme embedded.
They saved my sons life in Irag...he was air force firefighter going into Baghdad in the first week. He got off the transport with a MARINE at his back. Then my son had to scramble to get into gear and fight fires and the MARINES stood at his back literally so he could fight fire..bullets everywhere..people died. God Bless America and our armed forces.
As a Marine, I know that there are two positions of attention. One is the position of attention, and the other is the position of attention when the Marine Corps Hymn is playing. Marines know what I am talking about.
This video made me cry this is of myself and my company coming back from Afghanistan and just seeing the faces of everyone of these guys I'd die for after all these years got me in my feelings
Gave me thrills! So proud of my nephew who is a PFC with marines. He just graduated boot camp on 9/17! Maddox we love you and are so proud of you! He survived boot camp in spite of fact his dear grandmother died just three weeks after he left for boot camp! The second anniversary of his dad’s death occurred while he was at boot camp!
More like it! Nothing is free. Thank y'all for ur service . i am honoured. All my family served. I have 1 brother left. Navy man. Tough old buzzard. I think he do it again.
You guys are still our highest officers alongside Ryukyu islands (Okinawa & Taiwan(Formosa)) as far as I can recall. Thanks for the previous greater generations!

As Hitler created his Waffen-SS: “Always faithful” or “Semper Fi (Fidelis)”. But Fidelis to whom? To, We the People? Congress? Democracy? Governors of the States? No. Faithful to the District of Columbia and the Institutions that are there: FedRes; FinCEN; IRS; NSA, and others that ARE NOT PART of the Gov’t and that no one can intervene or supervise. USMC is present in the White House, in Camp David, in all the Military Bases of the World; in all Embassies and at strategic points. In this way, nobody can start a Revolution here, cuz all the important points are covered by an Elite Army that is NOT under the command of the Armed Forces; neither Marine nor Air nor Terrestrial. They are independent and at the service of the "President" Oh! Yeah… But of course it is! Surely the President feels safe surrounded by the Army of a Foreign Country that USURPED the land he occupies. Even Air Force One and Two is controlled by the USMC. Where did USMC come from? Here we go: All the Armed Navies in the world have in their ranks sailor soldiers who are in charge of Amphibious warfare; taking ports and beaches (and sabotage), in support of an invasion army. They are called Infantry Mariners. In fact, the Navy still has the SEALS Corps. Well, in 1932 some of these sailor soldiers were taken from Annapolis and placed near the Potomac. They gave them the best training; the best discipline; the best equipment and good pay but, this army had NO HONOR AND HISTORY. As everyone knows, this is extremely important to the morale and pride of any army. So they made it up. They stole the glory of others and attached it to a flag that still had nothing earned. WWII arrived, and they were sent to fight against Japan (They were Not sent against Hitler, but against Japan), and they deservedly earned their medals, especially in Mount Suribashi (Iwo Jima). Many died in Okinawa to achieve the glory of USMC. But The Korean War was bad. Viet Nam was worse. They did not do well in Viet Nam. USMC lost the war against Nam? OMG! Against a poor country, underdeveloped, malnourished, without Navy, without Air Force, without Company of Marines, Green Berets, SEALs, Rangers, Delta Force, Rambos or Chuck Norris. Defeated by a country of peasants without strategic plans, B-52 Bombers, PT-Boats, Atomics Submarines, without Aircraft Carriers, NO Continental Missiles, nor tanks, choppters, Gatlin Machins, Flamethrowers, Napalm, Agent Orange... and to top it off, defeated by an army of Teenagers WITHOUT SHOES who fought with bamboo sticks! Kicked asses and even invaded our Embassy. LOL.

HOORAH, indeed. I usually tear up when I hear this anthem. Have no one in or ever been in the Marines, but it sings to my heart of patriotism and sacrifice. I love that so many of these soldiers were at attention while they were singing. I forgot the most important part of my comment. Thanks to all the brave men and women who sacrifice on our behalf. Thank you for your service.
Awesome post…
Barbara, before you burst into tears, dont forget that the armed forces of the usa are paid murderers and will go anywhere Uncle Sam sends them just so he can make a financial profit for himself and his greedy mates.

I was born a little bit off Camp Lejeune, NC when my dad was a Lieutenant Colonel in the USMC. His last rank was Colonel before he retired.
congratulations
In 1962 at Parris Island, we were taught it was the “Marines Hymn”, NOT THE MARINE CORPS HYMN, and sung it proudly!!!
Semper Fi
love US marines. Ciao from Italy and thanks for all your great job and sacrifice around the world.
Thank you all for your service.

Thank you guys for your service, may God 🙏 bless you and keep you safe.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND THOUGHTS 🌟
Nice
Damn Marines, That sound as great today as it did in 1969 when I sang it with my brothers. Oh yeah, just case. In 1969 the only WOODSTOCK I remember. Was the Wood Stock of my M-!4 rifle . Semper FI Marines
🌬🎵🎶🎶🎵🇺🇸👍. June 6th today
That's what they were singing in the second battle of ft. Sumter on Sept 8th 1863 . when the confederate army made them all surrendered. And on the first battle of bull run when the confederate army made them run
Lol Proud baby sister of 3 Marines and I know that song by Heart, and I love The Core 😍😍🇺🇸🇺🇸
likewise for me, A Bar. Oohrah!
I was born on 1969! Thank you for your service and sacrifice for our freedom!! God Bless you and your family abundantly always! Happy 4th of July!! Proud to be in the USA! Have been here since I was a child, now I'm 51 years young! Love you all!! 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏♥️♥️💯♥️🙏🇺🇸🙏♥️♥️💯🎉🎉💯♥️🙏🙏♥️♥️💯🎉🎉
I love that song my uncle Bill taught it to me when I was 7 years old.
You were raised well Semper Fi.
@@abar7178 were you on the Marine video ? Took a long time to fully embrace all that I was taught.
@@abar7178 no I was only watching it. I am in 🇨🇦 Canada but my uncle was very proud of his time in our army that he wanted to pass that patriotism onto us.
Having a Godfather in the Marines and my Daddy in the Navy I was made to learn both hymns and memorize them too. Haven’t done it in so long I though I forgot. Well, I guess it does stick with you all your life.
As a 73 year old Marine, I still remember my DI telling me to ALWAYS stand at attention when singing the Marine Corps Hymn . Cause it was a HYMN!!!!!!!!! God, Corps and Country!
GRACIAS for your service!
@@lissyperez4299 Proud to have served, would do it all over again if they would let old geezer like me go to the front lines. Save the young service person NOT be be sacrificed, they have a lot to experience in life!
Semper Fi. Do or Die...
@@josecarrasco9609 Great comment. To be old and wise one must first be young and stupid.
@@sandydennis3240 I think you're right and Google info is wrong on that.

We also learned the Marines Hymn in elementary school. Thank each of you soldiers for the service you do for me and my family. God bless you all to stay safe and healthy.

Thank you so much I'm proud of the soldiers and yes I pray for them and their families. I have respect for our veterans and their families and pray for them as well.
My dad was a marine. I learned the hymn and how to salute before I could speak plainly. If someone asked what my dad did I would say " he a maween" proudly. He was a hard man for a little girl to live with. But I always was proud of his service.
Thank you for his service and you endurence.
Semper Fi!
My son, as a Marine, served from 1986 til 1992 and fought in Desert Storm. He is now 54 y/o and I'm still so proud of him and ALL our Marine Corps family. God bless and protect all who are serving and those who served. HAPPY 246TH BIRTHDAY WISHES TO OUR BIG AND BAD UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS !!
My GREAT RESPECT for USMC ! From Italy 🇮🇹🇺🇲
MY HUSBAND WAS A PROUD SARGEANT IN THE CORPS. HE FOUGHT IN THE KOREAN WAR. I LOST HIM TO CANCER IN 2011 AFTER 56 YEARS MARRIED. HOW I MISS HIM! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for his Service and your support of him when hes deployed, he was a lucky man to have had a caring wife, hats off to you mam!!! WWG1WGA!!!
May you have wonderful and precious memories of your time together.
What year he was in the Korean my dad was in there 50.s
Maby he knew my uncel frank
Your husband may be gone; however, he is with you and his brother Marines, his Semper Fi spirit and love lives on.
May God bless you.
WOW, BROUGHT BACK GREAT MEMORIES OF GROWING UP MARINE CORP AT CAMP LEJUENE, MONTFORD POINT NOW NAMED CAMP JOHNSON, THE AIR STATION, AND VISITS TO CHERRY POINT AS WELL. STANDING AT ATTENTION EACH TIME OUR FLAG WAS RAISED OR LOWERED, HEARING TAPS PLAYED FROM FAR OFF, AND FIVE LITTLE KID IN THE BACK OF MY MOM'S CHEVY BEL AIR, NO SEATBELTS OF COURSE, NO A/C OF COURSE AND SINGING THE MARINE CORP HYME AT THE TOP OF OUR VOICES! WOW
I was in 3rd grade on base at Camp Lejeune, 4th & 5th at the school at Montford Point. 6th, 7th, and 8th grades at Cherry Point (50's and early 60's). Then, my dad was in Okinawa and then on independent duty, then to HQMC, then Viet Nam, then back to Camp Lejeune. He retired when he was in the Norfolk, VA, area...not sure exactly where. He was in for around 30 years. I remember the traffic stopping on base at Camp Lejeune when taps was played.
Thank you all for your service and God bless you all!! AMEN
Your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks for keeping us safe out there job well done you should be proud appreciate you guys thanks ! Joe
Semper Fi.............
I am 86 years old and little did I realize in 1957 when I enlisted in the Corps, how proud I would be to say "I am a Marine". Gunny Finger, my Senior DI in Parris Island, told us this and at the time I did not understand". It is A BROTHERHOOD. May God Bless all my Brother Marines. Amen
Very proud of all of YOU! GOD BLESS!
Proud off what? Go out kill people, yes really something to be proud off
@@kikipedersen7475 If that's what it takes then yes. Be proud of what these men and women sacrifice for you to be able to speak your negativity to whoever is listening. There a many places in this world that would call for your death for those words. Here they are protected. Protected by who? Yep. Our military forces when the situation calls for it. Enjoy your freedom.
Thank you! That thumb's up gave me a chance to sing with this amazing Marines. Thankfully, no dogs chimed in, no glasses broken, just me singing at the top of my lungs in my living room for noone's pleasure but mine.
I am here in Afghanistan how are you doing

God bless you!
Best wishes from Spain.

Marines are not Soldiers
🌬🎶🎵🎵🎶🇺🇸👍 ty my USMC son came home after 15yrs...
Always liked the verse, "if the army and the navy ever look on heavens scenes, they will find the gates are guarded by, the United States Marines"
But if it wasn’t for the navy the marines couldn’t get there !!
@@MsDebyann We would swim if we had to!
@@d6678 all of my uncles and cousins were MARINES … but my Dad was Navy … lots of fun listening to them poke fun at each other after a few beers … love my USMC & USN!
Streets are guarded, not gates.
Well put Gomer! Old Navy Gunnersmate next time you need a call for fire, remember your words
Goosebumps every time I hear it Semper Fi

Thank you for your service. Beautiful group of people.
Thank you pals
Thank you for your service! May God Bless each and every one of you.
In elementary school, we had a school teacher who constantly reminded us on Assembly day that she lost all her family men in the war.
As a result, she made us learn and sing all the military songs of all four branches of the United States of America military.
Linda Beth Lawson,
At the church I used to attend before the COVID-19 pandemic, we had international day wherein each of the twenty nine countries sold their food and did their ethnic skits.
I, the American, played 'THAT'S A GRAND OLD FLAG' on my Bflat clarinet.
Linda Beth Lawson,
We need something like this in all of our schools. Along with a decent civics class. Knowledge of our world and how to behave has been lost in my opinion. Bring back Civics and Geography with a taste of culture and food for each group represented in each class.
Good for her.
My sister was born on Camp Lejeune while my dad was still in the Marines in 1954, unfortunately she passed a dew years ago at the age of 53 from Lymphoma, My dad died in 1999, he proudly considered himself a Marine all his life and sisplayed his Marine credentials in his office for all to see, Semper Fi.
Once a Marines always a Marines. Oorah!
I don't understand why I get tears in my eyes....
It's respect.
This made me cry ,I come from a Marine Corps family ,my parents both fought in W W 2+,my daddy was a D.I. at Cherry Point long before I was born,my older brother husband and many of my peers fought in the Vietnam Conflict,all are now deceased,I loved off the base at Camp Pendleton for a year with my husband,then we transferred to Long Beach Naval Station ,where he would stand guard in his dress blues and wave people in the gates …SEMPER FI DO OR DIE!!!!
And to every single person who have served our country in every war god bless each of you and keep,up the good work ,you bring honor and irked to,our country.
Thank you to all who served.
Marine Mom, toughest job in the Corps
Thanks for everyone's service, and I hope everyone made it home from their tours of Duty. God Bless our Marines! & God Bless America!
OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!
Grateful to say I know every word of this song God bless you God bless America!
As one of five children growing up with a WWII veteran Marine as our father, my dad made sure we all knew that song verbatim et literatim. If we faltered we were put on KP. 😊
Put on kp. That's great. 🤣🤣
Your dad was a wonderful man I am sure. God bless.
So proud of our patriots!
You do not realize how much you are loved and prayed for!
Thank all of you for your service. Also a big Thanks to our Veterans.
Thank you soldiers!
I love to play that song on my piano in honor of my Uncle Erich who is a retired major in the Marine Corp. He fought in the Korean an Vietnam war
🌬🎶🎵🎵🎶👍
Always gives me goosebumps to hear that song.
I had 3 cousins in the Marines during Vietnam. I joined the USAS and served for 24 years. Still don’t know the words to the AF anthem but I still have the Marine theme embedded.
Music to my heart ❤️
They saved my sons life in Irag...he was air force firefighter going into Baghdad in the first week. He got off the transport with a MARINE at his back. Then my son had to scramble to get into gear and fight fires and the MARINES stood at his back literally so he could fight fire..bullets everywhere..people died. God Bless America and our armed forces.
At the Baghdad Airport...my son went back a second time at Balad
My dad and one of my nieces were Marines! Fine job guys and thanks for your service!
Just hearing that I feel safe. Thanks. Merry Christmas
Thank you 🙏
The Marine Corp Hymn is by far the best song of all the branches
That is true
Nah..Anchors a way…
Lord bless and protect these young men....
Awesome! Thank you all for keeping us safe.
I’m AF, but damn I love the Corp’s hymn. Without a doubt, the best of all the branch songs
Loved it. Thank you for singing and for fighting 💜💖our country God bless you all.
As a Marine, I know that there are two positions of attention. One is the position of attention, and the other is the position of attention when the Marine Corps Hymn is playing. Marines know what I am talking about.
Retired Navy, and I agree. I mean, Anchors Aweigh is a DRINKING song, for God's sake.
My husband was in the Navy and was saved by a sgt Mike Meeks in the Summer of 1983
I was Navy and I love it too!!
Thank you for service ladies and gentlemen 😃
That’s my favorite song
Still gives me chills. Semper Fi
All great looking young men!! Thank you and stay safe. God Bless all of you😊😊😊🇺🇸🇺🇸
Love you! Please come back to us♥️
God loves his Marines!!!
I LOVE our Marines!!!!
God Bless these young men who preserve our freedoms and allow us to sleep well each night.
Utmost admiration and respect for all branches of our Armed Forces. God's Blessings on each of them.
This video made me cry this is of myself and my company coming back from Afghanistan and just seeing the faces of everyone of these guys I'd die for after all these years got me in my feelings
Gave me thrills! So proud of my nephew who is a PFC with marines. He just graduated boot camp on 9/17! Maddox we love you and are so proud of you! He survived boot camp in spite of fact his dear grandmother died just three weeks after he left for boot camp! The second anniversary of his dad’s death occurred while he was at boot camp!
More like it! Nothing is free. Thank y'all for ur service . i am honoured. All my family served. I have 1 brother left. Navy man. Tough old buzzard. I think he do it again.
What a fine group of young Marine!
God bless and protect them always
You guys are still our highest officers alongside Ryukyu islands (Okinawa & Taiwan(Formosa)) as far as I can recall. Thanks for the previous greater generations!
I love to watch them .they are real heroes.GOD BLESS THEM ALL.
