The United States is in a constant state of security from threats and the world is only getting more and more hostile towards us. America needs to know that there is a blanket of security that is being provided for them at all times. They want to know that someone is willing to stand guard and watch over them as they sleep, and continue their everyday lives. Americans want to know in the back of their minds that the Marines are always on duty, 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. Marines never take a day off, to rest or become complacent. No other branch of service has the capabilities and the mental fortitude that a Marines have. America needs the Marine Corps, because Marines are first to fight and America 's 911 force and can deploy in 24 hours. Many people think that our nation does not need the Marine, but they could not be further from the truth.
For those of you who do not know the origins of the Marine Corps, the Marines were born in a tavern on November 10, 1775 to fight in the upcoming revolutionary war against the British. Since then Marines have been fighting to protect our country for well over 200 years. Since that day in Tun Tavern the Marines have become well known to our country as well as to the enemies of our great nation. Since their inception Marines are known as an amphibious force
