My battle ground has been a ward
Or clinic here at home...
The enemy the things attacking
Health, muscle and bone.
The people I am helping are
The loved ones left behind
Your families and Veterans
Are the patients that I find.
The birthing wife who's man is gone
To fight so far away...
The frightened child facing
Surgery at break of day.
The young recruit who's beaten
On his liberty some night...
Or maybe just a cancer patient
Losing will to fight.
My battle scars are not from bullets
Or rocks upon the ground
But from other fights for life
And, from death, just as profound.
It hurts no less to lose someone
You've tended day by day
Than to see them in a firefight
Their life force swept away.
So when you praise your corpsmen
Who stood by you in the fray,
And while you tell the stories
Of their actions on some day;
When you look back recalling
All the things they did for you
It wouldn't hurt remembering
Those "other" corpsmen too.

10-4 Bro. and Corpsmen are the most selfless, dedicated people in the Corps,

I’m the one called "Doc"

I shall not walk in your footsteps,

but I will walk by your side.

I shall not walk in your image,

I’ve earned my own title of pride.



We’ve answered the call together,

on sea and foreign land.

When the cry for help was given,

I’ve been there right at hand.



Whether I am on the ocean

or in the jungle wearing greens,

Giving aid to my fellow man,

be it Sailors or Marines.



So the next time you see a corpsman

and you think of calling him "squid",

think of the job he’s doing

as those before him did.



And if you ever have to go out there

and your life is on the block,

Look at the one right next to you...

I’m the one called "Doc".

Flying into San Diego for a HAWK reunion. One of the stops is to Doc Savelli's trailer park.
I jut called his dad to inform his son that there will be a "boot camp knock" on his door next month.
Doc might have been the one who bandaged my head, I'll find out next month.

Throughout the history of the United States Marine Corps, Navy Hospital Corpsman have served side by side with Marines to answer their cry of "Corpsman Up."


Name the battle they were there behind the scenes doing their share. They have made their mark in history. All things to all men, to none a stranger.


At Belleau Woods, Pearl Harbor, Corregidor, Normandy, The Chosin Reservoir and in Vietnam midst the heat and slime of the Mekong Delta they tended the wounded oblivious to danger.


In the face of danger or adversity, they carried on their mission of mercy paying to often the ultimate price, offering their lives in sacrifice.


When you're wounded and need help, he's there with the touch of a mother caring for her newborn baby, with the determination and bravery of a Devil Dog, and the knowledge and experience to do his job.


"He's the lifeline between a bandage and a cast ..... or a body bag."


Some call him "DOC", the Vietnamese call him "Bac Si". He deserves much more than that just call him "Marine!"



quote:
You guys are the Marine's doctors; There's no better in the business than a Navy Corpsman."


Lieutenant General Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller, U.S.M.C.
