S. Ma- tines. A grateful nation will pay tribute. The following day, 11, a grateful tribute to the who died for their the first World War. But there’s a big difference in the two anniversaries, for on November 10 tribute is to be paid to men who don’t intend to die for their country. In this con- nection, there’s a Latin inscrip- tion.on Memorial Hall at Har. vard University. The translation is: “It is sweet and fitting to die for one’s country.” The Marine Corps’ answer to that is “NUTS!” Marines don’t want to die for their country. Marines want to make a Jap or Nazi die for his country. Marines want to re- turn home and marry a girl. , Even before the United States was officially born there were Marines who didn’t intend to die. Back in 1775, a year before the Constitution was adopted, Ma- rines seized New Providence in the Bahamas from the British. In the 167 years since Marines have continued to seize—and hold— places for the United States. That’s the job ‘of the U. Marines. They are the who do the dirty work. First to fight; last ‘to quit.

Marines scattered all| over the globe will be told some thing like th’ “All rules are out in this war. } Look, leatherneck, the time is| coming when you and a German Nazi or a Jap or an Italian stooge are coming face to face.
