On November 10, 1775 the Continental Congress passed this resolution authored by John Adams:
“Resolved, That two battalions of Marines be raised consisting of one colonel, two lieutenant-colonels, two majors, and other officers, as usual in other regiments; that they consist of an equal number of privates with other battalions; that particular care be taken that no persons be appointed to office, or enlisted into said battalions but such as are good seamen, or so acquainted with maritime affairs as to be able to serve with advantage by sea when required; that they be enlisted and commissioned to serve for and during the present War with Great Britain and the colonies, unless dismissed by order of Congress; that they be distinguished by names of First and Second Battalions of American Marines, and that they be considered as part of the number which the Continental Army before Boston is ordered to consist of.”
The Marines have fought in all our wars and by their conduct have lived up to this description of the Corps:
“No better friend, no worse enemy.”
Servant of God Vincent Capodanno, please intercede with God to bless and keep all the members of the Marine Corps.
The US Marines have a tradition of honor. Our leaders have decided to tarnish that tradition by requiring the US Marines to allow homosexuals to openly serve in the US Marine Corps. The Marines are supposed to be the ones to fight for right and freedom. Homosexual behavior is not right.
Rhode Island remains the only state to still celebrate Victory Day, or VJ Day – victory over Japan.
Being from the Ocean State, recruits in WW2 had two natural choices:
Navy or Marines.
And that meant the war against Japan.
To add to Mr. Lewis’ accurate comment, I would guess, as an outside observer, that the significant dumbing-down of physical training requirements and benchmarks in order to permit young women to survive boot camp has not done much to maintain the sharp edge of combat readiness and effectiveness of the Corps. And that’s before you factor in all of the SJW madness of the past 12 years or more.
I agree with Mr. Lewis.
In the clip that I provided Pete plainly spells it out for Sara who wishes to “educate” him on transgenderism. Pete calls it like it is. A mental illness;

Sara Jacobs and Pete Hegseth, respectfully.
Vincent A. Lewis:
“Homosexual behavior is not right.”
All evil is enslaving and not freedom
