A MARINE’S PRAYER

Almighty Father, whose command is over all and
whose love never fails, make me aware of Thy
presence and obedient to Thy will. Keep me true
to my best self, guarding me against dishonesty
in purpose and deed and helping me to live so that
I can face my fellow Marines, my loved ones, and
Thee without shame or fear. Protect my family.

Give me the will to do the work of a Marine and
to accept my share of responsibilities with vigor
and enthusiasm. Grant me the courage to be
proficient in my daily performance. Keep me
loyal and faithful to my superiors and to the
duties my Country and the Marine Corps have
entrusted to me. Help me to wear my uniform
with dignity, and let it remind me daily of
the traditions which I must uphold.

Semper Fidelis

Creed of the United States Marine

This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My rifle, without me, is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will... My rifle and myself know that what counts in this war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit... My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage. I will keep my rifle clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will... Before God, I swear this creed. My rifle and myself are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace!

A MARINE WIFE’S PRAYER

Dear Lord,

Give me the greatness of heart to see the
difference between duty and his love for me.
Give me understanding that I may know,
when duty calls him -- he must go...
Give me a task to do each day,
to fill the time when he’s away.
And Lord, when he’s in a foreign land,
keep him safe in your loving hand.
And Lord, when duty is in the field,
please protect him and be his shield.
And Lord, when deployment is so long,
please stay with me and keep me strong.

Amen

A MARINE MOM’S PRAYER

Dear Lord,

Give me the greatness of heart to see
the difference between a mother's love
and duty to country.
Give me understanding that I may know,
when duty calls him -- he must go...
Give me a task to do each day,
to fill the time when he’s away.
And Lord, when he’s in a foreign land,
keep him safe in your loving hand.
And Lord, when duty is in the field,
please protect him and be his shield.
And Lord, when deployment is so long,
please stay with me and keep me strong...

Amen
