PROUD TO BE A MARINE
FOR MY BROTHER O.L. JOHNSON
VETERAN OF WORLD WAR II
I am proud to be a U.S. Marine
A member of the Corps
America’s elite fighting force
In the air, on sea and shore
Marines are courageous beyond the call
In the h8ighest tradition of the Corps
Their mission is the pursuit of freedom
And to protect their country in peace and war
I am an heir to the Marine Corps legacy
A history of we can do
Iwo Jime and Guadal Canal
Inchon and the Chosen Few
When the Marine’s Hymn is being played
On the parade field or other scene
I snap to attention and feel the pride
Of being a U.S. Marine
Training, discipline and duty
Combat ready mean
I am not just another soldier
I am a United States Marine
I will always be proud to be a Marine
Until the day I die
I am proud of the globe and eagle
And our motto Semper Fi
Jess Johnson
