Speaker's guide

"Marine Corps Speaker's Guide, which supersedes the Guide of 1956, is an easily carried, ready reference containing outline treatments of various topics which Marine Corps speakers are frequently called upon to discuss. These are intended as aids in developing the speaker's own ideas. The well spoken word has done much to tell the Marine Corps story to the public. That story can be told most effectively if it reflects the major theme of continuing importance to the Corps, namely: The Marine Corps, Our Nation's Amphibious Force-in-Readiness. This theme should be stressed whenever the occasion presents itself." -- page [i].
