We are the Few who were made to fight for all. As Marines, our cause is to fight and win our country’s collective future. This isn’t just our purpose—it’s who we are. Our belief that we will win fuels our fight against our nation’s threats. Every Marine’s faith in our cause forges bonds between us that can never be broken.
Marines train to fight and win in any clime and place because even the unknown is an element we must be prepared for. From sub-zero mountain temperatures to the hottest, driest deserts, Marines will overcome any challenge that stands in our way.
"I joined the Marine Corps because I was in college and I was looking at all the options available to me, and I just felt like I needed to do more with my life and do more for my country. And I thought back on all the books I read as a child and all the people I wanted to grow up and be like. And so I finally decided to take the step and end up like those people, the Marines.
The purpose of the Marine Corps is to fight our Nation's battles wherever they may be, and more importantly, to win them every time."
–First Lieutenant Clay Woolsey
