"Bury Me Next To A Marine" - Marine Corps Community for USMC Marine Veterans

A U.S. Navy Corpsman serving with Marines, wrote a wonderful poem and it is re-copied here for you. It is titled

"Bury me Next to a Marine"

Bury me next to a Marine, When my time has come to an end,
So I can spend eternity, Beside my brother and friend
I've served beside them for years And they've inspired me every day.
They've never asked for anything, So a debt I can never repay.
None of them served for glory, None for money or fame.
But they've served in every clime and place, Heroes with but one name.
No one will ever outdo them, Their honor is never outdone.
They will all go down in history, As America's favorite sons.
Marines will never fail you, And their guard will never cease.
Please bury me next to a Marine, So I may rest in peace.

I love Corpsmen, they have all the Morphine!

Great Poem! There 's no doubt that GOD gave the Marines the courage, but he gave the Corpsman the Balls!

Semper Fi to all my Corpsman Brothers!

Reminds me of one saying I've carried with me since boot camp "You take care of your Corpsman, and he'll take care of you."
