LOVE
The wonderful love of a beautiful maid,
The love of a staunch true man,
The love of a baby, unafraid,
Has existed since time began.
But the greatest of loves,
The quintessence of loves,
Even greater than that of a mother,
Is the tender, passionate, infinite love
Of one drunken Marine for another.
Gen. Louis Wilson,
Commandant, United States Marine Corps

Re: Marine Poem
I have fond memories of Gen. Wilson, a great southern gentleman. I served with him in WestPac.
