After the battle General Holland Smith came upon a sight that moved him to tears. “It was a dead Marine, leaning forward against the seawall, one arm still supported upright by the weight of his body. On top of the seawall, just beyond his upraised hand, lies a blue and white flag, a beach marker to tell succeeding waves where to land.” Holland Smith cleared his throat and said, “how can men like that ever be defeated?” - Several years ago I put a ton of time into reading and researching for these posts and still only scratched the surface of the events that occurred at Tarawa. Countless tales of individual heroism, lessons that were hard learned that would save lives in the future and so many other things. But what I really want is for you to take pride in your unit’s history and uphold and carry on the legacy left before you. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 #followme #legacy #marines #usmc #semperfidelis

Infantry Month - Being an Infantryman is the core of what the Marine Corps and the Army is. Make no mistake, if you’re not Infantry, your sole purpose is to support the Infantry. - March isn’t just another month, Infantry Month is about you, the Infantryman. A month to highlight you, for you to take pride in being an Infantryman because being an Infantryman truly is the best job in the military. I extend this to ALL Infantrymen; Marines, Army, doesn’t matter to me, you’re all my brothers and March is our month. - Most of the Infantrymen I’ve ever known enlisted for the sole purpose of being Infantry. It’s one of the few MOSs where you are specifically signing up knowing there’s potential for you to take the fight to the enemy; face to face and hand to hand. It might suck now but, one day you’ll look back and realize how awesome it is. - Here’s to the Infantry. Happy Infantry Month. - This audio from Bones and this photo just go so well together.
