9. Culture Honor Courage Commitment
The man who will go where his colors go, without asking, who will fight a phantom foe in the jungle and the mountain range, without counting, and who will suffer and die in the midst of incredible hardship, without complaint, is still what he has always been, from imperial Rome to sceptered Britain to democratic America. He is the stuff of which legions are made…. His pride in his colors and his regiment, his training hard and thorough and coldly realistic, to fit him for what his must face…. He has been called United States Marine.
