"Strengthening the Lives of America's Youth"

I am a patriot as true as can be.
I wonder if I will have freedom.
I hear the screams of soldiers in war. I see dead people.
I want my share of independence.
I am a patriot as true as can be.
I pretend I am not a slave but I am.
I feel like I'm nothing but I'm not.
I touch two pistols to kill.
when I don't want to kill.
I worry for my loved ones
if they'll survive.
I cry when I see the death
of my loved ones.
I am a patriot,
a person who wants freedom.
I understand I must fight in the war.
I say we will win if it takes forever.
I dream of freedom.
I try to fight for what I want.
I hope we will win.
I am a patriot.

To the youth.
You are the future of this Young Marine Unit!
You guys run the show, that's why it's called the Young Marines. Guys and girls get motivated to take the position...step up to the plate! SSgt. Gibson and GySgt. Garcia can not run the Unit by themselves...they need you!
Instead of picking up that X-box or PS2, break out the Guide Book and learn some new knowledge!
If you are not in top psysical shape, do your pull-ups, sit-ups, and three mile runs everyday to get there!
