A MARINE COMES HOME.

Few, Earn the Title, "United States Marine".
Once earned, they are Marines Forever...

When they die, their Honor Clean, they stand before Heavens Gates and see two signs, Eternal Peace and Marines.
Below the sign Marines is a path.
The Marine follows the Path to a Quonset Hut, knocks Three Times and enters.
Behind a table stand two Marines, Colonel Lewis B. Puller and Sergeant Major Dan Daly...
The SgtMaj hands the Marine a Quill Pen and Bottle of Red Black Ink...
The Marine signs his name to the Duty Roster, after which his Heavenly Robes fade., replaced by standard Marine Corps Issue.
The Marine Smiles, squares his cover, does a Right Face out the Hatch to the Yellow Footprints to Muster as The USMC Devil Dog Division...

The Marines purpose is clear, to fight the forces of Evil for all Eternity under the Command of the ultimate Commander-In-Chief, GOD ALMIGHTY...

"By The Grace Of God,
And A Few Marines,
It's Good To Be Home".

Semper Fi Col.
