What the Marines stand for..........
U.S. MARINE CORPS
CORE VALUES
Generation after generation of American men and women have given special meaning to the title United States Marine. These same men and women live by a set of enduring Core Values which forms the bedrock of their character. Core Values give Marines strength and help tune their behavior, they bond the Marine Corps into a total force that can meet any challenge.
HONOR
Honor guides Marines to exemplify the ultimate in ethical and moral behavior; to never lie, cheat or steal; to abide by an uncompromising code of integrity, respect human dignity and respect others. The qualities of maturity, dedication, trust and dependability commits Marines to act responsibility, to be accountable for their actions, to fulfill their obligations, and to hold others accountable for their actions.
COURAGE
Courage is the mental, moral and physical strength ingrained in Marines. It carries them through the challenge of combat and helps them overcome fear. It is the inner strength that enables a Marine to do what is right, to adhere to a higher standard of personal conduct; and to make tough decisions under stress and pressure.
COMMITMENT
Commitment is the spirit of determination and dedication found in Marines. It leads to the highest order of discipline for individuals and units. It is the ingredient that enables 24-hour a day dedication to Corps and country. It inspires the unrelenting determination to achieve a standard of excellence in every endeavor.
