Marine Corps Love Is Trading Poem by Sarah Huntington

Trading your diamonds
For his dog tags
Marine Corps love is trading

Trading the wedding tux
For his dress blues
Marine Corps love is trading

Trading days together
For days at war
Marine Corps love is trading

Trading basketball games
For target practice
Marine Corps love is trading

Trading five-star hotels
For a tent in the woods
Marine Corps love is trading

Trading bandaids
For 'Suck it up baby'
Marine Corps love is trading

Trading cookouts
For MRE's
Marine Corps love is trading

Trading anniversaries
For funerals
Marine Corps love is trading

Trading Life
For death
Marine Corps love is trading

Marine Corps love is...
Rough
Tough
and
Nasty
