When I called just the other day, it was the Navy office, but they said oh you need to call the Marines. Well they are very different, Marines do very different things than the Navy does. Any Marine would tell you that. It is something that has been started, to make that change, I am all for all the military, but the Marines are special to me. My brother gave his life in the Marines.

I served honorably and with pride in being with the Marines. I was more proud of my membership with the Marines than the Navy. I was also proud of keeping a family tradition going regarding joining the Navy and therefore I am proud of having served in the Navy, but I liked being with the Marines and taking care of them the most during my military service. There are several (probably many) reasons why I liked being with the Marines, but there's one part I still recall very well. As a "doc", if you took care of your Marines, they took care of you. That is a special situation and bond in the human experience, one you never forget. If you've ever been given that gift, it is something that's always cherished. To me, there's no question that it should be the Dept. of the Navy and the United States Marine Corp. Semper Fi "Doc" West I served with the First Marine Brigade (‘68-’70) as an FMF Corpsman.

If we as Marines don't know why our letterhead say's "Department of the Navy" then our own hubris has blinded us. Marines have been "Soldiers of the Sea" and "Naval Infantry" for our entire existence and I am proud of our honored place within the United States Navy. We exist because we are a functioning piece of the Navy and we are not the Navy's reason for existence. The Army has it's own history of successful amphibious operations that could justify why the Nation doesn't need a Corps of Marines. If we remove ourselves from underneath the protective umbrella of the Navy then we actually would become the "second land army" which is a term that spells death for our institution. Finally, think about that term "Corps." We weren't named the "Marine Corps" no reason. We are a "Corps" of specialists within a larger, parent service and have been since November 10th, 1775.
