The Bald Eagle, littered with pride and a fierce and lethal predator. Sound familiar? Who better to flank the Marine Rifle Expert badge than this noble creature? The business end of our nation's symbol of vigilance and strength is the United States Marine Corps.

Dusted into the background of this design is the rifleman's creed....every word of it. Every Marine is trained as a rifleman and every Marine must live by this creed. A Marine and their rifle are defenders of their country, masters of their enemy, and are saviors to their life.

For over two centuries U.S. Marines have stood guard next to Freedom's mantle. This design ensures that future generations don't soon forget that. Semper Fi!
