“A ship without Marines is like a garment without buttons.”
-- David Dixon Porter -
“If the Marines are abolished half the efficiency of the Navy will be destroyed. They are as necessary to the well being of a ship as the officers. Instead of decreasing the Corps, I would rather hope to see a large increase, for we feel the want of Marines very much.”
-- David Dixon Porter
