Semper Fidelis
Proud to belong
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.
