    It was to see a future where your loved ones would be safe, and you could guarantee that they would be safe. At the same time, it wasn’t just that--I wanted to be something, something to be remembered for. In history class, you learn about all those greats-- yeah most of them claim the name of something from someone who probably spent hours doing research. However, the ones that truly shine, are the ones who give back, the selfless ones.…

    Marine Corps History

    On November 10, 1775, the Continental Congress passed a resolution stating that "two battalions of Marines be raised" for service as landing forces with the fleet. This established the Continental Marines and marked the birth of the United States Marine Corps. Serving on land and at sea, early Marines distinguished themselves in a number of important operations, including their first amphibious raid on foreign soil in the Bahamas in March 1776, under the command of the Corps' first commandant, Capt. Samuel Nicholas. The 1783 Treaty of Paris ended the Revolutionary War and as the last of the Navy's ships were sold, the Continental Navy and Marines disbanded.…

    Gen Davis Legacy Leadership

    He was the first black American to graduate from West Point in the 20th century, he was one of the first black Americans to fly planes in overseas combat, he was partially responsible for the integration of the U.S. armed forces, and he was the first black American Four Star GEN in the U.S. Air Force. I do not believe I can leave a legacy as great as GEN Davis but I would like to influence the lives of a few people. I would like my family and friends to view me as someone who was always there for them in their time of need. Despite being silenced at West Point, GEN Davis reestablished contact with many of his classmates, years later. He was always willing to lend a helping hand. I want people to remember me as someone they could confide in. Additionally, I would like my subordinates and superiors see me as someone who valued loyalty. Despite mistreatment, GEN Davis was always loyal to the U.S. and to the U.S. armed services. He showed unwavering loyalty to his subordinates. I wish to leave the same legacy. Lastly, like GEN Davis, I would like my peers to see me as a patriot who was honest about the flaws of this country, but loved it nevertheless. GEN Davis was never shy about calling attention to the racism and bigotry demonstrated by many U.S. citizens. Despite this, he served his country proudly, because he believed in the nations stated…

    Why I Want To Become A Marine Corps Officer?

    Firstly, I want to become a Marine Officer in order to serve and give back to my country. Secondly, as I desire to become a Marine Infantry Officer, leading fellow Marines in the Marine Corps as an Infantry Officer would be the greatest honor, privilege, and responsibility one could possess. Finally, becoming a Marine Officer will challenge me both physically and mentally as well as develop me into the best person, citizen, leader, and ultimately the best Marine I can be. I want to be a part of something bigger than myself and make a difference in the world, as Ronald Reagan said “Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don’t have that problem.”…
