What it means to be a former or current US Marine: [View all]

It means to protect the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic,
It means to protect the American Homeland,
It means to protect those that are weaker,
It means to protect all the Rights given to us under the BoR and the Constitution,
It means to always be Faithful to our Constitution and Country.
Semper Fidelis to all the services, USMC, US Army, US Navy, US Air Force, US Space Command and US Coast Guard.
And may I add, those that protest Illegal orders given to the Armed Services of the United States.
