Because the bond of a Marine is forever. As Marines we share more than just a common bond. Ours is unique. We make us such a small portion of the Marine Corps and what we have done to earn the title is no small feat.
Because we share a common goal of service. To our country, our families and our community.
Because we are Sisters.
Because this is where you need to be.
