“Retreat? Hell, We Just Got Here!”

Today, we remember the legacy of Marines who fought at the Battle of Belleau Wood during World War I, helping to cement the Corps' reputation as the world's premier fighting force.

During the intense battle, the 4th Marine Brigade, comprised of the 5th and 6th Marine Regiments, and the 6th Machine Gun Battalion, fought aggressively through the wheat fields and woodlands in France, helping to stop a major German advance toward Paris in 1918. The Battle of Belleau Wood became a major turning point for the Corps, providing Marines with experience in large scale operations.

Legend has it that Marines were later called Teufel Hunden ("Devil Dogs" in German) due to the relentless tenacity while taking enemy positions during the battle. Because of the Marines’ unwavering commitment, the 5th and 6th Marine Regiments were awarded the French Croix de Guerre, an award presented to individuals or units for acts of valor and bravery on the battlefield.

Semper Fidelis.

MEMORIAL DAY

As we go about our daily lives on this long holiday weekend, let’s not forget the reason for the holiday. Is the time to honor and remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for a nation, for the freedoms we hold their, for the opportunities we free to pursue, and so that we may live in safety.

Also, let’s not forget those who served and lost to internal battles they fought when they came home.

Take some time this weekend to honor and remember those who gave up their futures so that we may live ours.

The attached song was written by one of our members, and along with the video, seem a fitting tribute to their memory.

This is a revised version of the original song. I wasn't completely...
