Question 15

Recite the Marine Corps Hymn,

Answer 15

From the halls of montezuma, to the shores of tripoli, 
We fight our countries battles
In the air, on land, and sea
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean
We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marines!

Our flags unfurled to every breeze
From the dawn to the setting sun
We have fought in every climate and place
Where we could take a gun
In the snow of far off northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes
You will find us always on the job
The United States Marines

Here's health to you and our Corps
Which we are proud to serve
In many a strife we've fought for life
And have never lost our nerve
If the army and the navy 
Ever look on heavens scenes
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.
