Subject: "The Few, The Proud, The Marines" - Marine Corps Recruiting Command requests your support completing a slogan survey
Dear Marine Corps Family,
"The Few. The Proud. The Marines." is more than just a slogan. These three
sentences represent who we are, epitomizing the challenge of becoming (The
Few), and the reward of being (The Proud), one of the elite (The Marines).
Suffice it to say, Few slogans convey such a Proud tradition.
Our tagline has been a foundation in the Marine Corps for over thirty years.
Now we have the opportunity to immortalize these words into America's
civilian culture as well. "The Few. The Proud." has been nominated BEST
SLOGAN for the Madison Avenue Advertising Walk of Fame. The Marine Corps
joins a list of 26 other brands that will compete for entry based on total
number of votes received online at
