It comes as no surprise that the first ground engagement of

and professionalism will end the nightmare of Iraq's brutal
occupation -- and ensure that Kuwait once again is free. //
Their courage and commitment will help punish -- not reward --
aggression and protect our new world order from the tyranny of
ruthless dictators with no concern for human life.
We are now more than two weeks into Operation Desert Storm.
My report to you today is that we are on course and on schedule.
Day by day, night by night, Iraq's capacity to wage war is being
systematically destroyed by U.S. and coalition military forces.
Our investment, our training, and our planning are paying off. //
Yes, achieving our goals will require time and sacrifice, but we
will prevail. And when we do, we will have taught a dangerous
tyrant and those who would follow in his footsteps that there is
no place for lawless aggression in this critical region and in
the new world order that we seek to create. //
Every day, I think of our brave servicemen and women like
the 2nd Marine Airwing -- eleven squadrons and two battalions
deployed in the Gulf. // And the 2nd Marine Division and the 2nd
Force Service Support Group. Ninety percent of their members are

themselves. // Most of all, I think of those who have already
given the last full measure of devotion. I will always keep a
place in my heart for the memory and the families of these
American heroes. 11

"Morale is the greatest single factor in successful wars. " //
The communities of Jacksonville and Havelock [HAV-lock] care. So

Commander , Families, friends, and members of "The few.
The proud. The Marines.' // There is a song which speaks of
"Carolina in the Morning." Well, I'm pleased to be here on this
magnificent Carolina afternoon. //
It is a special privilege to be at a home base of freedom's
Horatio at the bridge. What -- forgive me -- a Navy man, Admiral
Bull Halsey, once called not merely "the elite Corps of this
country. I think," he said, "it is the elite Corps of the
world." // The United States Marine Corps. //
((First, a personal note. I couldn't be in North Carolina
without thinking that this is the 30th anniversary of the first
year of "The Andy Griffith Show.' I'll tell you -- when it comes
to love, care, and support, Aunt Bee herself couldn't have done
more for Andy and Opey than you're doing for our Marines. )) //
Think of "Semper Fidelis" -- always faithful. So you have
been to self-determination and human dignity. // Think of the
silhouettes which define the term "Marine Corps." Storming the
beaches of Iwo Jima. Scaling the cliffs of the South Pacific.
Taking shell-torn hills in France and England. You have shown
the same courage which sets -- and keeps -- men free. //
For 216 years, the U.S. Marine Corps has helped write the
story of America. And today -- in wartime, as in peacetime --
2
you write that story still. // As I mentioned Tuesday night in
my State of the Union Address, to be an American is a wonderful
but demanding thing. It means expressing our deepest values, and
our character as a people. It demands that we enlist in a cause
larger than ourselves -- the cause of freedom for all the peoples
of the world. //
I speak of a cause as old as America -- and as young as the
American spirit -- for America will never grow old. It is the
cause of liberty -- to punish named aggression. // The cause
that will end the nightmare of Iraq's brutal occupation -- and
see that Kuwait once again will be free. // It is the cause
which has forged unprecedented United Nations solidarity -- and
unprecedented unity at home. // Listen to Tom Paine, who said it
best: "We fight not to enslave, but to make room upon the earth
for honest men to live in. " //
Ask the 2nd Marine Division of Camp Lejeune, today
celebrating its 50th birthday. Ninety percent of its members are
deployed in the Gulf. They believe in a cause larger than
themselves. // So do those of you holding a prayer service and
ceremony. You know that given Saddam Hussein's inhumanity to man
-- we must fight in the Persian Gulf to reassert man's humanity
to man. // If there's anyone who wonders what we're fighting
for, they need look no further than this room. //
Unfortunately, there are no medals for courage for military
families. If there were, there would be as much decoration upon
your chests as there is pride within them. To all of you --
3
spouses, children, parents, Marines -- you're doing more than
just keeping the home fires burning. Your dedication and bravery
is lighting the heart of every American. In response, this
pledge: We will do everything we can do hasten the day when your
heroes can put down their military arms -- and return to your
loving arms. //
Let me close with a verse that always reminds me of the
Marines. "Not gold but only men can make a people great and
strong," it begins. "Men who for truth and honor's sake stand
fast and suffer long. / Brave men who work while others sleep,
who dare while others fly. It concludes: "They build a
nation's pillars deep and lift them to the sky. " //
The Marines abroad -- the Marines at home -- their families
and their friends around the world -- all of you are enduring
much to lift freedom to the sky. // Thank you from my -- and
from America's heart -- and let me leave you with words written
nearly a century ago: "The Marines have held, and the situation
is well in hand."
God bless you and this great country. Thank you for your
support. And please keep our coalition's armed forces in your
thoughts and prayers.

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: MARINES & FAMILIES
CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1991
Commander / Families, friends, and members of "The few.
The proud. The Marines. " // There is a song which speaks of
"Carolina in the Morning." Well, I'm pleased to be here on this
magnificent Carolina afternoon. //
It is a special privilege to be at a home base of freedom's
Horatio at the bridge. The guardian that -- forgive me -- a Navy
man, Admiral Bull Halsey, called not merely "the elite Corps of
this country. It is," he said, "the elite Corps of the world."
// The United States Marine Corps. //
((First, a personal note. I couldn't be in North Carolina
without thinking that this is the 30th anniversary of the first
year of "The Andy Griffith Show. " I'll tell you -- when it comes
to love, care, and support, Aunt Bee herself couldn't have done
more for Andy and Opey than you're doing for our Marines. )) //
Think of "Semper Fidelis" -- always faithful. So you have
been to self-determination and human dignity. // Think of the

Taking shell-torn hills in France and England. You have shown
the same courage which sets -- and keeps -- men free. //
For 216 years, the U.S. Marine Corps has helped write the
story of America. And today -- in wartime, as in peacetime --
2
you write that story still. // As I mentioned Tuesday night in
my State of the Union Address, to be an American is a wonderful
but demanding thing. It means expressing our deepest values, and
our character as a people. Demanding that we enlist in a cause
larger than ourselves -- the cause of freedom for all the peoples
of the world. //
I speak of a cause as old as America -- and as young as the
American spirit -- for America will never grow old. It is the
cause of liberty -- to punish naked aggression. // The cause
that will end the nightmare of Iraq's brutal occupation -- and
ensures that Kuwait once again is free. // It is the cause which
has forged unprecedented United Nations solidarity -- and
unprecedented unity at home. // Listen to Tom Paine, who said it
best: "We fight not to enslave, but to make room upon the earth
for honest men to live in.' "
//
Ask the 2nd Marine Division of Camp Lejeune, today

celebrating its 50th birthday. Ninety percent of its members are
deployed in the Gulf. They believe in a cause larger than
themselves. // So do those of you holding a prayer service and
ceremony. You know that because of Saddam Hussein's inhumanity
to man, we must fight in the Persian Gulf to reassert man's
humanity to man.
/
If there's anyone who wonders what we're
fighting for, they need look no further than this room. //
Unfortunately, there are no medals for courage for military
families. If there were, there would be as much decoration upon
your chests as there is pride within them. To all of you --
3
spouses, children, parents, Marines -- you're doing more than
just keeping the home fires burning. Your dedication and bravery
is lighting the heart of every American -- showing, as Dwight
Eisenhower said, how "Morale is the greatest single factor in
successful wars." In response, this pledge: We will do
everything we can do hasten the day when your heroes can put down
their military arms -- and return to your loving arms. //
Let me close with a verse that always reminds me of the
Marines. "Not gold but only men can make a people great and
strong, " it begins. "Men who for truth and honor's sake stand
fast and suffer long. / Brave men who work while others sleep,
who dare while others fly." It concludes: "They build a
nation's pillars deep and lift them to the sky." //
The Marines abroad --- the Marines at home -- their families
and their friends around the world -- all of you are enduring
much to lift freedom to the sky. // Thank you from the bottom of
over
America's heart -- and let me leave you with words written nearly
a century ago: "The Marines have landed and the situation is
well in hand."
God bless you and this great country. Thank you for your
support. And please keep our coalition's armed forces in your
thoughts and prayers.

troops arrived in Panama to control the situation, and, by 25 May, the
U.S. expeditionary force was re-embarking at Aspinwall for New York and
home stations. "We were all glad to clear out," grumped Elliott.
When informed, at the height of this excitement, that a U.S. Marine
brigade was ashore, the captain of a British man-of-war lying off Panama
City said, "Tranquility is then assured."1$ A better known observer coined
a more well-known phrase: correspondent Richard Harding Davis simply
reported, "The Marines have landed and have the situation well in hand."⁴⁴
AFFAIRS AT HOME
In the years following the Civil War by no means all of the activity of
the Marine Corps occurred abroad. Jacob Zeilin inherited numerous mili-
tary chores at home. These ranged from guarding Abraham Lincoln's assas-
sins to assisting the civil authorities during strikes and epidemics and
whiskey raids.
After Lincoln's assassination, Washington was hysterical with panic and
shock. Casting about for the most escape-proof means of detaining the Lin-
coln conspirators, Secretary Welles and Secretary of War Stanton deter-
mined to confine them on board the monitor Montauk at the Navy Yard,
under a Marine guard, one of whose officers, First Lieutenant R. S. Collum,
was a future historian of the Corps.
One by one, as captured, the conspirators were brought in closed car-
riages to the Navy Yard main gate and there transferred to Marine custody.
Booth's body followed and, under the bayonets of Marines, was autopsied
on board the monitor. The security arrangements for all this were among
the most rigorous in the history of the Corps. In addition to holding the
hooded prisoners in solitary confinement, the Marine guard could allow
no visitors on board the ship without a pass signed jointly by Secretaries
Welles and Stanton.
A somewhat similar case (which turned out less disastrously for the
prisoner) was the detention of Captain Raphael Semmes, CSN, who had
been a distinguished officer in the U.S. Navy, but had "gone South" and
commanded the raider Alabama. Semmes, a hot-tempered, loud-voiced
Alabaman, was ordered arrested by Secretary Welles, who sent First Lieu-
tenant L. P. French and two sergeants from Marine Barracks, Eighth and
Eye, to do the job. Their quest took them to Louisville, Vicksburg, New Or-
leans, and finally Mobile. Here, Semmes, found on his plantation, was routed
