Corpsman Up!
Today, we celebrate and recognize the @USNavy Corpsmen who have stood alongside our #Marines for 128 years.
Since June 16, 1898, Navy Corpsmen have embodied the spirit of #SemperFidelis. From naval hospitals to the battlefield, they remain always faithful, treating our wounded and keeping Marines in the fight.
To the #Corpsmen in our ranks, we thank you for your unwavering dedication to duty and to our Marines.
Semper Fidelis.

"It’s My Life" by Bon Jovi.
The song was written by Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, and Max Martin, and released in May 2000 as the lead single from the album Crush. It marked the band’s triumphant return after a five-year hiatus.
It’s an anthem about taking control of your own life, living it your way, and never giving up. It includes references to Tommy and Gina (characters from “Livin’ on a Prayer”) and to Frank Sinatra with the line “Like Frankie said, I did it my way.”
It became one of Bon Jovi’s biggest hits of the new millennium, reaching number one in many countries and becoming a classic that resonated with new generations.
