Those things others would not do, I did; Those rivers others would not swim, I swam; Those hills others would not climb, I conquered; Those bridges others would not cross, I crossed; I have celebrated. I have mourned. I have smiled and I have frowned. I have seen death and felt its warm breath. It did not faze me, for I was different. I was a warrior. You ask me what I was? It was my destiny. Until my last breath. To be a United States Marine. And my spirit shall live forever. SEMPER FIDELIS For I was, I am, and I shall forever be a UNITED STATES MARINE ## Images ![USMC - Ask Me What I Was Black Sign - Marine Corps Veteran - USMC retirement gift - 8.5 x 11.5 Inch Plaque - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81GvFCqj-5L.jpg) ![USMC - Ask Me What I Was Black Sign - Marine Corps Veteran - USMC retirement gift - 8.5 x 11.5 Inch Plaque - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91GOm636K0L.jpg) ![USMC - Ask Me What I Was Black Sign - Marine Corps Veteran - USMC retirement gift - 8.5 x 11.5 Inch Plaque - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51CdLLh80FS.jpg) ![USMC - Ask Me What I Was Black Sign - Marine Corps Veteran - USMC retirement gift - 8.5 x 11.5 Inch Plaque - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81oUiEj0yDS.jpg) ![USMC - Ask Me What I Was Black Sign - Marine Corps Veteran - USMC retirement gift - 8.5 x 11.5 Inch Plaque - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810n15Vo1wS.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars May bring a tear to the recipients eyes *by D***M on Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2022* All good.
