Eagle, Globe, and Anchor


Like an eagle commands the sky,

Command a room.

You don't need words,

your presence speaks louder 

in your silence.

Like the earth with so much power,

revolving around the sun,

sustaining so much life.

You protect us, you defend us,

in your strength.

Like the sea is unknown,

vast and wide,

with so much to find, to discover

you are intricate and confusing

in your love.

What possessed you to chose this path?

Love.

Love for your country.

Love for those you left behind.

So embrace the commanding presence of the 

eagle.

The power of the 

earth.

The intricity of the 

sea.

Be the commanding, powerful, intricate you.

Do what you signed up to do.

You've got the power,

and the support.

So stand brave

stand strong

stand powerful

and semper fi.
