Description:
Marines are used to hearing that they are "on duty" 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. When they earn the title, Marines are expected to uphold the high standards of their Corps in all aspects of their lives. Marines don't do the things they do for recognition, awards, or inclusion in magazines. They do it because it's who they are: professional warriors, fighting for the safety and freedom of the nation they protect. The Marines on this page exemplify that mantra, fulfilling a commitment they made long ago. From valor on the battlefield , to looking out for fellow Marines, and even protecting American citizens in their own communities, these Marines went above and beyond in an effort to live up to their title.
