Marine Hymn

Director and Founder:Gene Simes(A Blind Veteran)

A former United State Marine, Gene served 1963/1969 and was wounded in Vietnam. "I thank all my brothers and sisters for serving in combat and those that gave there support at home. "I will be 'always faithful' to all of you."

They swept across Iraq and conquered it in 21 days. They stand guard on streets pot-holed with skepticism and rancor. They caught Saddam Hussein. They are the face of America, its might and good will, in a region unused to democracy. The U.S. G.I. is TIME's Person of the Year.Click Here For The Story
