PHIDE
What is it that holds men in the
battle line, when every normal instinct
of self preservation tells them to get
out - to stay alive?
What is it that makes the United
States Marines prefer wounds, death
and agony, rather than retreat cr sur
render - even when retreat would be
easily understandable and natural?
One word is the answer to these
questions - one word-PHIDE. Pride is
the secret strength of the Marines.
Pride in the Corps. Pride in being a
member of a select - yes, elite -
corps of hand picked men*
Yes, we are all proud to be afford*
ed the opportunity to serve as "United
States Marines".
