Uniquely Yours Craft Journal

Dear Fellow Journalers,

Today,  Marine Corps military families celebrate the 241st    anniversary of the founding of the Marine Corps, and it just so happens my husband and I also celebrate our 46th wedding anniversary. I found the following on a plaque and wanted to share it with you:

ASK ME WHAT I WAS

I’ll reply with what I’ve done.
Those things others would not do, I did;
Those rivers others would not swim, I swam;
Those hills others would not climb, I conquered;
Those bridges others would not cross, I crossed;
I have celebrated. I have mourned.
I have smiled and I have frowned.
I have seen death and felt its warm breath.
It did not faze me, for I was different.
I was a warrior.
You ask me what I was?
It was my destiny. Until my last breath.
To be a United States Marine.
And my spirit shall live forever.
SEMPER FIDELIS
