Chuck Norris to Marines: 'Protect What You've Earned'

Action hero Chuck Norris has a message for the Marine Corps: Keep doing what you're doing.

In a brief video posted to MarineCorpsTimes.com, Norris is shown hitting a dummy torso and talking about doing "roundhouse kicks to the face" in the gym before revealing that he is an honorary Marine.

"Before we begin, a few years ago, your commandant bestowed on me the title honorary Marine. I have to tell you, I've always been proud of that. It's an honor to be associated with men and women of character," Norris said.

"Not everyone has the guts, the will, the determination, and the courage to accept that challenge. But you did. So, protect what you've earned."

Norris, 77, served in the Air Force from 1958-1962. He has appeared in dozens of films and television shows over the years.
