"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and success of liberty."
President John F. Kennedy
This video was recorded by my good buddy, a US Marine with 2 combat tours to Iraq and Afghanistan in support of the GWOT. It is a rare insight into our military during war and will make you better appreciate the men and women in the USMC and our military. Against his Gunnery Sergeant's wishes, he recorded this pre-battle speech, with the result being this awesome video with the last words these Marines from 1st Bn 6th Marines heard before boarding helos and heading into the heart of Marjeh. A truly inspiring video and speech.

"The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive the Veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation."
President George Washington
May God bless those that have given that ultimate sacrifice in defense of this great nation so that we may live free!
