Question:

Which poem has a marine say something like "you knew it was safe for you saw my footprints in the sand" ?

I think I originally found the poem a few years ago while doing research for WWII. But it could have been a WWI poem. I *think* the marine was speaking to the navy, but I'm not sure. Basically, he says that the Marines land on the beaches first, so when everyone else gets there, they know it's safe because they see his footprints in the sand already.

My husband is an officer in the Corp and I *really* want to find this poem and hang it in my home. Please help.
