African Quotes
The United States has been fighting African pirates since the early days of the republic - battles so formative that, among other things, they established a long-standing pattern of dealing with foreign policy problems through armed interventions and also inspired the iconic phrase 'the shores of Tripoli' in the Marine Corps hymn.

Academy Quotes
The POW camps of North Vietnam were packed with Air Force and Naval Academy graduates. The six midshipmen in my Naval Academy class of 1968 who served as liaisons between the Marine Corps and the Brigade of Midshipmen later suffered nine Purple Hearts in Vietnam, and one man killed in action.

Absolutely Quotes
We really felt all along that the Corps was a group that we could absolutely trust. They wouldn't do sloppy work, or allow sloppy work. They realized that this community basically lives and dies on the strength of those levees. Now, what's happened -- it's like finding out that your mother lied to you all the years of your life.

Easy Quotes
My intent is not to point the finger. I still have a high regard for the corps. Holding back the Mississippi River isn't an easy thing to do. They've done an extraordinary job at flood control, and that's what makes this all the more devastating. I'm sure the corps is devastated, too. They know people put their faith in them and that faith was betrayed.

Believed Quotes
My definition, the definition that I've always believed in, is that esprit de corps means love for one's own military legion - in my case, the United States Marine Corps. It means more than self-preservation, religion, or patriotism. I've also learned that this loyalty to one's corps travels both ways: up and down.
-
Army Quotes
Fragmented boards can't have the expertise needed to review the Army Corps of Engineers plans for the levee system nor the clout to hold them accountable. Multiple boards cannot be part of a cohesive solution for the region. It is also reasonable to expect that a single board is going to be more efficient and cost effective yielding greater results everywhere for everyone.

Blocks Quotes
From the time I left the Marine Corps after serving as an infantry platoon and company commander in Vietnam, I decided that I would focus on immediate goals that inspired me to devote all of my energy to them, rather than putting together the more cautious and traditional building blocks of a predictable career.

Amazed Quotes
I was in the Marine Corps in 1971. The idea 'Where does authority come from?' is fascinating to me. And also, the idea of a chaplain is fascinating to me because it's a man of the cloth in uniform, and it's the uniform of a killing machine. Back when I was in the Corps, when I saw that, I was amazed by it.
