"First to Fight" is the slogan of their recruiting officer*, and young men flock to the ranks because they want to get into action.- - It was some time before the Marine Corps' was heard from in any large engagement abroad. The "soldiers of the sea" were not the first to ha tn the light, military authorities ordained otherwise. But they-w?ited their time in impatience and. whfifi opportunity offered did what they call their "darndeet" The American people knew the Marines .would distinguish themselves when they went into action.
