I served in the Marines from 1969 to 1972 during the Viet Nam era. I came home in '72. Thirty years later, in 2002, I had a son who was a senior at the University of Alabama, studying history. He came home one day and said: "Dad, thanks for serving!" He was the FIRST PERSON who had ever said it to me in 30 years!!

as a fellow marine, i also thank you. i had a grand father that was a marine, he also served during Vietnam. he never talked about it when i was younger. once i joined, he opened up to me a lot more. i may have not been through war, but marines will always have that connection even if you just met. that’s the comradery and brotherhood that is engrained in us. i can’t even imagine how it is going through something like ‘nam but i know as a marine it is our job no matter your MOS. we always take care of those next to us. semper fidelis devil dog. thank you for your service.

As a paralyzed US Army Veteran, it may not be alot but I salute and respect all of the US Marines. They are always the very first to deploy so they definitely have earned the respect. My grandfather was a US Marine in the Pacific Theater in WW2. He kept his uniform after the war. He never spoke much about the war, only that it's one of humanity's worst deeds.

My husband is a USMC combat veteran an 0311 grunt who served from 2002 to 2006 3rd battalion 2nd Marines Lima Company (3/2 Betio Bastards) he followed in the footsteps of his late father who also served in the USMC from 1968 to 1972 as a Helo crewman.

Great video, very well done. Thanks for the work put into it. One constructive comment, twice the narrator mentions "The Marine Corps Hymn" incorrectly. The correct title is "The Marines' Hymn". I learned this the hard way from then Major General Charlie Cooper, the CG of MCRD San Diego. As a Major, having graduated from MCRD PISC, OCS, TBS, and AWS, I had never learned the lesson he taught me by exploding over his desk during a briefing when I mistakenly called it The Marine Corps Hymn - Twice! Lesson Learned and never forgotten. Pass the Word.... Semper Fidelis!

The United States 🇺🇸 Marine Corp have a truly amazing and rich history, and whilst I, as a British military veteran and an Englishman, obviously don’t like the defeats the Marines inflicted upon my country I also respect their achievements during the United States and Corps formative years, years that saw so much turmoil and conflict, but also saw the beginnings of the corps widely held respect from many other nations including the United Kingdom, respect that was and is well deserved, without the Marine Corp so many of the conflicts the United States were involved in could easily have seen a very different outcome.

Need to check the history on the leather collar! In boot camp (a lot of people don't realize this) YOU will learn U. S. Marine Corps. history. The leather collar was not just for looks as detailed in this video. The leather collar had a combat role as well. It was issued to Marines aboard ships (mainly the reason) to protect the jugular area of the neck and extended across the top of the shoulders. It was a form of armor against sword and knife, hand-to-hand combat at close quarters. This information is what I remember from boot camp March to June of 1987, P.I. Plt. 1045.

I remember seeing the history of the US Marines and Army much like this one on another channel. It was good. Great job.
