Le Voyage Magnifique

Tradition

The military tradition--
Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines--
all work to fulfill their mission
and guide their lives by what it means.

From Sergeant's greeting at boot camp,
intended to get your attention,
to the confined foxholes so damp,
beyond civilian comprehension.

From the battle of Bunker Hill
to Fallujah and beyond,
we continue to fill the bill
and never fail to respond.
