SEMPER FIDELIS
Semper Fidelis was adopted about 1883 as the motto of the
Corps. Taken from Latin, it means, "Always Faithful." But it is
more than just a motto for Marines, it is a way of life. It is a
commitment we all share to our country, to our Corps, and to
each other. This is why there are no ex-Marines, only Former
Marines.
