"From the halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli..." Marines have fought brilliantly and courageously since 1775, maintaining a proud tradition of being the best of the best. Never once has a Marine left another wounded or dead in combat. Two Marines have each earned two Medals of Honor. Astronaut John Glenn was a Marine.
