Significance of the scarlet stripe on each leg off the Marine Corps dress blue trousers.

 

[Gumby]

Significance of the scarlet stripe on each leg off the Marine Corps dress blue trousers.

Are those blood stripes in honor of other Marines that have been killed in action?

 

[Show-me]

Close enough.

The scarlet "blood stripe" runs down each trouser leg of the dress blues worn by Noncommissioned Officers, Staff Noncommissioned Officers and officers. Originally it honored those Marines who fell in the Battle of Chapultepec during the Mexican War in 1847. Today, the blood stripe honors the memory of all our fallen comrades.

Also,

Some of the lyrics were popular phrases before the song was written. The line "To the shores of Tripoli" refer to the First Barbary War, and specifically the Battle of Derne in 1805. After Lieutenant Presley O'Bannon and his Marines hoisted the American flag over the Old World for the first time, the phrase was added to the battle colors of the Corps. "The Halls of Montezuma" refers to the Battle of Chapultepec, during the Mexican-American War, where a force of Marines stormed Chapultepec Castle.

Thank you, Show-me. The music is always a great reminder of just who we are & where we'd be if it weren't for the Troopers, regardless of which service. The bagpipes were outstanding !

Gumby has the board according to the last correct anwser, but what fun is a trivia game with no questions pending?

In the interim, I'll provide some fodder. Well aware that gumby's succesfull response and show-me's current emcee status trump my contributions.

So here we go, and apologies in advance that my questions have little to do with finance or service to country, from the same source as my last riddle:

"What goes up and down but never moves?"

Question: How many legs are there in the bus?

Wild guess here. But I would say 72 legs in the bus. The extra two are the bus driver.
