That is the credo of the U.S. marine corps. it means that no matter what happens they will always be faithfull to corps and country.

This slogan means nothing to the US Army, they have their own slogans, usually adopted by an advertising agency for recruiting purposes, such slogans as "be all that you can be", or "an army of one", Each year a new slogan is adopted to change the tempo and recruit new wannabes. They never really stick for very long because they are so superficial and have no history.
The slogan adopted by the Marine Corps goes back a couple hundred years ago was done in blood; it followed the battles in Mexico. The slogan Semper Fidelis is in the Latin language and means: "Always Faithful". It truly depicts the charter of the Corps, to take care of its own.
Rarely, are fallen comrades left in the field of battle. They (the Marines) will always stay and retrieve their wounded and dying comrades, even at the risk of their own lives.
As a former Marine, I can tell you , we may share our ammo with the army, we may even share our women with the army, but they can never use our slogan! Semper Fidelis!

As I easily have suggested many cases earlier - acrostics look to carry out the perfect in poets in this web site. What does Semper Fi easily recommend? On Tyler Toliver's youtube (Reenie's son) there's a message from some-one calling themselves Semper Fi too - is it something to do with the marines? sure, I easily have received encouraging words from Semper - he walks that extra mile

In answer to your second question, no Marines aren't Soldiers. Soldiers are members of the Army, the Marine Corps is part of the Navy.

it doesn't mean anything to soldiers, because it's the Marine Corps motto.

To a marine, it is the code they live by.

@brian: a "couple" of hundred years? Jeez.
Something's telling me that this is not very
likely.
