This core value is not just about physical bravery in combat, but also about
moral courage, which means standing up for what is right, even in the face
of criticism or opposition. By embracing courage, Marines are better
equipped to overcome obstacles and protect the nation and its ideals.
Commitment: Commitment reflects the unwavering dedication and loyalty
that Marines have towards their country, Corps, and fellow Marines. This
value emphasizes the importance of teamwork, discipline, and perseverance in
accomplishing the mission. Marines are expected to maintain a high level of
professionalism and to continuously strive for self-improvement, both
individually and as a unit. Commitment also includes the responsibility to
support and defend the Constitution of the United States and to be always
faithful to the Marine Corps' traditions and values.
These values are fundamental to the identity and culture of the Marine
Corps, and they play a crucial role in shaping the character and
professionalism of Marines. By adhering to these principles, Marines can
effectively serve their country and maintain the high standards expected of

execute over 180 parachute jumps from 13,000 feet, and travel the country
teaching his Motivational Magic inspirational programs to schools and
businesses. Overcoming cancer and being ranked 12 out of 80 recruits during
boot camp at Parris Island are further testaments to the courage and
resilience instilled in him by the Marine Corps.
Embracing the Marine Corps' commitment to self-improvement, Rick rose above
his early struggles with writing, eventually authoring 20 books and earning
a place on Amazon's bestseller lists multiple times. In recognition of his
community service work helping the homeless, terminally ill, and
ex-offenders, Rick was nominated for a Gold Congressional Award by Captain Schwalm, Inspector-Instructor, U.S. Marines.
The transformative experience of being a Marine continues to be a driving
force in Rick Saldan's life, pushing him to reach new heights in the face of
