The Few, The Proud, The Marines - Recruitment Videos

Enlistment videos engaging young men and women to join the Marines and take up the challenge are a vital part of  our culture. Some commercials stand out more than others, but they never fail to give me a chill up my spine as I watch them or a shiver of pride and occasionally, a full on burst of laughter. No matter where I am when I see one, I always stop, I watch and I find myself wanting to tell their stories. The first video in this list--I remember seeing that at a movie theater. Appealing to a generation of gamers, the Marines continue to grow and evolve.

Here are some of my favorite Marine videos.

  1. Love these. I go into the recruiter's offices regularly just to pick up new brochures and CDs. Yup, I'm a military junkie...

  2. I follow the military on fb and so I see some amazing videos all the time and I always get a little choked up watching them.

  3. I always make it a point to thank a soldier if/when I see them on campus. My son has picked up on it when we ride the bus and we see a Veteran. He unintentionally made a Vietnam Vet cry a few months ago by saying thank you. He said that he had never been thanked by a child.

    I love the videos!
