Array ( [sid] => 14203 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => The Marine [time] => 2003-03-13 06:30:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I joined the marines
So I could be proud
Now we’re going to war
For cryin’ out loud.

I will die for my country
I will die with pride
I will be a Marine
For the rest of my life

All the blood, guts, and gore
Some horrible visions of a horrible war
Watching my brothers die next to me
God, that something I don’t wanna believe

The war is now over
Not everyone comes home
I think of my brothers
I wanna be alone

They died with honor
They died with pride
They are…
UNITED STATES MARINES
SEMPER FI!
