If I had one more division like this First Marine Division I could win this war.
General of the Armies Douglas McArthur in Korea,

Col. Colin Lampard, USMC

Ensure that no Marine who honorably wore the eagle, globe and anchor is lost to the Marine Corps family. General James L. Jones Jr., Commandant of the Marine Corps
“They (Marines) have given us our only real fight.” Commanding Officer of the British, War 0f 1812
“The American Marines are terribly reckless fellows… they would make very good storm troopers.” Unidentified German officer at Belleau Wood
