Quotes by John F. Kelly

We Marines believe that God gave America the greatest gift He could bestow to man while he lived on this earth -freedom. We also believe He gave us another gift nearly as precious - our soldiers, sailors, airmen, Coast Guardsmen, and Marines - to safeguard that gift and guarantee no force on this earth can ever steal it away.

We have a saying in the Marine Corps and that is no better friend, no worse enemy, than a U.S. Marine. We always hope for the first, friendship, but are certainly more than ready for the second.
