My fellow Marines and Patriots,
It is almost prophetic that the first Continental Marines were commanded by Captain Samuel Nicholas, the son of pacifist Quakers, showing that regardless from whence we came, Warriors are born of necessity to stand between oppression and liberty. And as Marines, we are of a special breed of warrior, molded from something innate within the depths of our hearts that breaths a tenacity, conviction, and determination that no enemy of our cause has ever been able to defeat. For throughout our history, we have stood when there was no safe ground, held the line against overwhelming odds, and advanced through the traps of our adversaries.

And even if she doesn’t win with McCain, I think she has a great career ahead in politics – I hope she’ll go on to affect other areas of this country.
My fellow Marines and Patriots,
