Always Faithful....If you go upto any Marine past or present and say those two words you will always get a reply of Semper Fi or a UUUUUrah. They are the proudest tradion of all the military branches. Of course there are a few bad apples and if the Marines did what they did in Iraq they should be punished. They didn't do it there they would have done it here. Never leave a Marine behind.

Semper Fidelis is Latin for "always faithful". It is the motto of several places and organizations, here listed in the order of the date at which they adopted the motto:
The City of Exeter
The City of Exeter, in Devon, England adopted the motto in 1588; the motto signifies the city's loyalty to the English Crown, and was suggested by Elizabeth I in a letter to "The Citizens of Exeter", in recognition of a gift of money towards the fleet that defeated the Spanish Armada.
The motto is also used by the Royal Navy warship HMS Exeter, which is named after the City of Exeter.
There is a Masonic Lodge in Exeter of the name "Lodge Semper Fidelis".

Unless you've earned the title of United States Marine it will never mean the same thing to you as someone who has earned that right to be called a Marine. You are not stupid but "Semper Fi" is an expression that acts as a lynch pin for all Maines and finest fighting force the world has ever known.

Isn't it always faithful or something like that? Try this one. Nil bastardi carborundum.
