From the Halls of Montezuma

To the shores of Tripoli

We fight our country's battles

In the air, on land, and sea

First to fight for right and freedom

And to keep our honor clean

We are proud to claim the title

Of United States Marine

Our flag's unfurled to every breeze

From dawn to setting sun

We have fought in every clime and place

Where we could take a gun

In the snow of far-off Northern lands

And in sunny tropic scenes

You will find us always on the job

The United States Marines

Here's health to you and to our Corps

Which we are proud to serve

In many a strife we've fought for life

And never lost our nerve

If the Army and the Navy

Ever look on Heaven's scenes

They will find the streets are guarded

By United States Marines

Richard, so sorry to learn of your Father's passing.  My mother Frances  Nash worked for your Dad and thought the world  of him.  He was a good Christian man.  He and your Mother became good friends of my parents. Sending prayers for you and family during this time of sorrow.  Linda Nash DuBose

Richard, Nan and family—-we extend our deepest sympathy to all of you. We remember many years ago at Double Springs when Mr. Spearman would come to visit. How proud he was of his family and especially of his “preacher boy.” We love you.
