Yes the Marines have the "Halls of Montezuma" to remind them of the action in that conflict - but again when you look at the whole of the campaign, and you look at the number of engagements fought by Marines and fought by the Army - including the number of troops committed to action in those engagements you'll find it weighted more towards an Army affair than a Marine affair - engagements, troops, victories and such.
