I'm the mother of a Marine veteran. — © Lois Frankel
I'm the mother of a Marine veteran.
A Marine is a Marine. I set that policy two weeks ago - there's no such thing as a former Marine. You're a Marine, just in a different uniform and you're in a different phase of your life. But you'll always be a Marine because you went to Parris Island, San Diego or the hills of Quantico. There's no such thing as a former Marine.
I am a Marine Corps veteran, but more importantly - or as important maybe - I'm the chairman of the Oversight Investigation Subcommittee and the House Veterans Affair Committee.
In the last analysis, what the Marine Corps becomes is what we make of it during our respective watches. And that watch of each Marine is not confined to the time he spends on active duty. It last as long as he is "proud to bear the title of United States Marine."
Being in the Marine Corps was the best thing that ever happened to me. It can do a lot for a young guy. I owe a lot to the Marine Corps. If I had a son, I'd want him to be a Marine.
My father is a Marine. My brother is a Marine. I almost became a Marine. I'm no stranger to fight training. I used to do jujitsu and boxing as a kid. I was a running back in football for my high school and my college. I played ice hockey as well as did theater. So, there's always been a physical nature to me.
My mother is a teacher, and my father is a chief marine engineer.
Every veteran out there, veteran or rookie, they want to go to the Super Bowl and win it and get the best opportunity.
Doing 'Marine 3' and 'Marine 4,' and kind of knowing what's in store, I knew that when you do a 'Marine' movie that it's hard days, it's long days and all that. You're tired, your body's tired, your mind's tired, but you have to do the acting, you have to do the stunts, you have to do everything.
As a veteran myself, I care a great deal about the quality of life of our Missouri veterans, and no veteran should ever be without a home.
If the veteran only has a year or two left on his contract, teams are hesitant to trade a draft pick for a player in that position. Why pay a big cap number for a guy you might only have for a short time And then there's the reality that the veteran and the agent would probably want to be on the open market anyway, figuring they'll get more money that way. The system is not conducive to making a deal for a veteran.
My father was a veteran and my mother a schoolteacher. They taught me the value of a good job and an honest day's work.
[ General James Mattis] is a Marine's Marine who has served in combat in both Afghanistan and Iraq.
Ensure that no Marine who honorably wore the eagle, globe and anchor is lost to the Marine Corps family.
One day, you'll get out of the Marine Corps; you'll put your uniform up, but you'll never not be a Marine.
When I put on my Marine cover, I'm a Marine, and I act accordingly.
In the Marine Corps, your buddy is not only your classmate or fellow officer, but he is also the Marine under your command. If you don't prepare yourself to properly train him, lead him, and support him on the battlefield, then you're going to let him down. That is unforgivable in the Marine Corps.
