Great Quote (s)
Found this gem on the internet:

Quote:
Eleanor Roosevelt - 1945:
"The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps."
(Her son, James Roosevelt, was XO of 2ndRaider Bn on Maikin Island and later commanded 4thRaider Bn. He retired from the USMCR as a BGen)

Great Marines
Love the quote and the follow up link. There have been many men I have heard about that I would follow into combat, but the one that I would not hesitate to invade hell with is Gen Mattis, He was truly the finest Marine I ever had the pleasure to serve under. We would make that place a winter resort.

I've always liked this one
