from medal of honour advert

[mycatis]

Any one remember the (bit of a) poem from an advert for Medal of Honour, something about, "and when he gets to heaven, St Peter he will tell, one more soldier reporting *something* I've done my time in Hell"  I think that was it, was there any more?

Thanks

"When A Marine Goes To Heaven"

You can keep your Army khaki,
You can keep your Navy blue.
I have the world's best fighting man,
To introduce to you.

His uniform is different,
The best you've ever seen.
The Germans call him "Devil Dog",
His real name is "Marine".

He was born on Parris Island,
The place where God forgot.
The sand is eighteen inches deep,
The sun is blazing hot.

He gets up every morning,
Before the rising son.
He'll run a hundred miles and more,
Before the day is done.

He's deadly with a rifle,
A bayonet made of steel.
He took the warrior's calling card,
He's mastered how to kill.

And when he gets to heaven
St. Peter he will tell,
One more Marine reporting sir,
I've served my time in Hell.

So listen all you girls,
To what I have to say:
Go find yourself a young Marine,
To love you every day.

He'll hug you and he'll kiss you,
And treat you like a queen.
There is no better fighting man:
THE UNITED STATES MARINE!
