We Marines believe that God gave America the greatest gift He could bestow to MAN while he lived on this earth -freedom. We also believe He gave us ANOTHER gift nearly as precious - our soldiers, sailors, airmen, Coast Guardsmen, and Marines - to safeguard that gift and guarantee no force on this earth can EVER STEAL it away.

We WOULD like to live as we once lived, but HISTORY will not PERMIT it.

She who has NEVER LOVED has never LIVED.

As a southerner born after the EPIC events of the civil rights movement, I've always wondered how on earth people of GOOD will could have conceivably lived with Jim Crow - with the daily degradations, the lynchings in plain SIGHT, and, as the movement gathered FORCE, with the FIRE hoses and the police dogs and the billy clubs.

I have good MEMORIES of REAL Madrid. Professionally, it was a DIFFICULT period, but my experience there was very good in all senses, as I grew a lot, LEARNED many things, and lived with great champions.

My parents LIVED by Rancho Park. And my mom, later in life, got into playing golf. She and her male cronies WOULD GET up at FIVE in the morning and sneak onto the back nine. I kind of just started getting into it. For a long time, I was REALLY puzzled by why people liked it.

A LIFE LIVED unexplored is a life not WORTH LIVING.

When the World Economic Forum was ESTABLISHED in 1971, the GLOBAL POPULATION was four billion, of which 50% lived in POVERTY.

I LIVED in Canada when I was YOUNGER and my parents BOUGHT a 1970S caravan. My earliest holiday memory is driving it down the East Coast of the United States to FLORIDA, where we went to Walt Disney World.

It's how I've LIVED my LIFE. You SHOW up, work hard, and be HUMBLE.
