“To locate, close with and destroy the enemy by fire and maneuver or repel the enemy assault by fire and close combat.”

We give you guys a lot of shit but at the end of the day, we’re here to support YOU. You’re the ones taking the trench, putting boot to door, rounds in skulls and the bayonet to belly.
-
You have a long, rich history that dates back to the origins of the Marine Corps. Chapultepec, Belleau Wood, Guadalcanal, Chosin, Hue, Fallujah and Marjah just to name a small fraction. Be proud of your lineage and uphold that legacy no matter where you find yourself or what you find yourself doing. Don’t let the naysayers fool you, you matter and what you’re doing matters.
-
Today is your day. Tag an 11 in the comments and say thank you, or you’re welcome.

I used the same photo and caption the last 5 years, and will continue to do so.

Infantry Month
-
Being an Infantryman is the core of what the Marine Corps and the Army is. Make no mistake, if you’re not Infantry, your sole purpose is to support the Infantry.
-
March isn’t just another month, Infantry Month is about you, the Infantryman. A month to highlight you, for you to take pride in being an Infantryman because being an Infantryman truly is the best job in the military. I extend this to ALL Infantrymen; Marines, Army, doesn’t matter to me, you’re all my brothers and March is our month.
-
Most of the Infantrymen I’ve ever known enlisted for the sole purpose of being Infantry. It’s one of the few MOSs where you are specifically signing up knowing there’s potential for you to take the fight to the enemy; face to face and hand to hand. It might suck now but, one day you’ll look back and realize how awesome it is.
-
Here’s to the Infantry. Happy Infantry Month.

This audio from @dearmomimdying and this photo just go so well together.
🚨 GOLDEN GOALS
Both Men’s AND Women’s Hockey teams won GOLD in OVERTIME — scored by absolute PATRIOTS! 🇺🇸
I love the USA... We're so proud to be Americans." - Jack Hughes
“It’s an honor to represent our country and wear USA across our chests.” - Megan Keller
Anybody who is mad about this video has a dump in their pants. Talking to the President after winning Gold is as American as Apple Pie. Hockey twitter stays the softest group of crybabies who ever existed.
BREAKING: Team USA beats Canada 2-1 in overtime, and Jack Hughes - the same guy who LOST HIS TWO FRONT TEETH to a vicious high stick from Canada's Sam Bennett in the third period scores the winner!
High stick draws a double-minor, blood everywhere, gap-toothed smile, but Hughes stays on the ice and refuses to quit. Then in OT he buries the winner for America's first men's hockey gold since the Miracle on Ice in 1980.
Post-game, bloodied and missing those teeth, he says it all: “This is all about our country right now, I love the USA.” Pure patriotism, pure toughness, pure heart.
This is what winning for America looks like - playing through the pain, no excuses, delivering when it counts most. Hockey toughness meets unbreakable American spirit.
Hats off to Jack Hughes. That's how you make history!
Who's still buzzing from this one?
