A quote for a Marine who is overseas?

Question

I'm putting together a journal with messages from my friends and family of encouragment and inspiration to my boyfriend who is in Iraq right now. I wanted have an introduction in the book with some kind of quote that's encouraging/inspriational. Any ideas?

US Marines are the most peculiar breed of human beings I have ever witnessed. They treat service as if it was some kind of cult, plastering their emblem on almost everything they own, making themselves look like insane fanatics with haircuts to ungentlemanly lengths, worshipping their Commandant almost as if he was a god, and making wierd animal noises like a gang of savages. They'll fight like rabid dogs at the drop of a hat just for the sake of a little action, and are the ******** sons of bitches I have ever known. Most have the foulest mouths and drink well beyond man's normal limits, but their high spirits and sense of brotherhood set them apart and, generally speaking, the United States Marines I've come in contact with are the most professional soldiers and the finest men and women I have ever had the pleasure to meet... - spoken by a British writer.
