I would beg to differ based on how my sensei and my friend
Chika say it. They are both natives of Japan. Sensei from Tokyo,
Chika from the rural northern end of Honshu.
Back in 1775
My Marine Corps came alive
First there came the color gold
To show the world that we are bold
Then there came the color red
To show the world the blood we shed
OOH RAH
Semper
