Answer 1

Mormon girl! are you in Utah? haha
here is my fav cadance, perfect as there is no swearing..
Semper Fidelis- your dads one of the best, everyone else is just a soldier


You can keep your Army khaki,
You can keep your Navy blue,
I have the World's best fighting man,
To introduce to you
His uniform is different,
The best you've ever seen,
The Germans called him "Devil Dog"
His real name is "Marine."

He was born on Parris Island,
The place where God forgot.
The sand is eighteen inches deep,
The sun is blazing hot.

He gets up every morning,
Before the rising sun.
He'll run a hundred miles and more,
Before the day is done.

He's deadly with a rifle,
A bayonet made of steel.
He took the Warrior's calling card,
He's mastered how to kill.

And when he gets to Heaven,
St. Peter he will tell,
One more Marine reporting, sir,
I've spent my time in Hell.

So listen, all you young girls,
To what I have to say;
Go find yourself a young Marine,
To love you everyday.

He'll hug you and he'll kiss you,
And treat you like a queen,
There is no better Fighting Man,
The United States Marine

Answer 2

Make sure you put the eagle globe and anchor symbol in it. Also, put some history in it too like where the Marine Corps was born. I believe it was Turn Tavern but look it up it has been awhile since I thought of this. Get some old pictures of him and his marine buddies. Just put your heart into this and he will Cherish this I know I would.

Here is a great link specifically for Marine Corps History

Also look at the Naval History Center in Washington DC since they will have both Navy and Marine Corps history items that you are looking for. Good luck.
