Poem written by Hamlin Garland written on the wall of Marine combat Observation Post Karma
Do you fear the force of the wind?
The slash of the rain?
Go face them and fight them.
Be savage again.
Go hungry and cold like the wolf
Go wade like the crane
The palms of your hands will thicken,
The skin of your cheek will tan
You'll grow ragged, and weary, and swarthy,
But you'll walk like a man.
