Marcus The Few. The Proud. The Marines.
August 30th, 2007 by Marcus
What do you think of when you hear The Few, The Proud, The Marines? Do you think of a sharp young NCO presenting arms with a sword? Do you think of the mighty dragon slain by a Marine in a past commercial? How about Dress Blues, the best looking uniform in the military? The Marine Corps prides itself on being the few and proud.
The slogan has been nominated in an internet contest to determine which two slogans will grace the Madison Avenue Advertising Walk of Fame. Links to the voting page can be found in the text below which came to me via email.
The United States Marine Corps and JWT are honored to announce that “The Few. The Proud. The Marines.†has been nominated BEST SLOGAN for the Madison Avenue Advertising Walk of Fame. More than just a slogan, these three sentences represent what Marines are all about, epitomizing the challenge of becoming (The Few), and the reward of being (The Proud), one of the elite (The Marines). Suffice it to say, Few slogans convey such a Proud tradition.
With your help, we now have the opportunity to immortalize these words as an American cultural icon. The Marine Corps will compete with 26 others for entry into the hall of fame based upon total number of votes received online at http://advertisingweek.yahoo.com The winning slogan will be etched on a plaque, and set alongside other time-honored brands on Madison Avenue between 49th and 50th Streets.

Done and will do it at the office tomorrow. I would have liked an Army slogan better. But at least it is not an Up Up and Away one.
