Semper Fi ----

- from the word "Semper Fidelis". It is Latin for "Always faithful."

The prhase "Semper Fidelis" has served as motto or title for several entities which include the official march of the United States Marine Corps, composed by John Philip Sousa in 1889.

But Since 1883 it is most widely known as The United States Marine Corps motto.

The motto "Semper Fidelis" signifies the dedication that individual Marines are expected to have loyalty to "Corps and Country" and to their fellow fighting men and women, for the rest of their days and beyond. Marines often reduce the phrase to "Semper Fi."

On every eagle, globe and anchor in the Marine Corps, the eagle holds a ribbon emblazoned "Semper Fidelis".

Semper Fidelis is the family motto of the Lynch Family. The Lynches were one of the Twelve Tribes of Galway, who were fourteen merchant families who dominated the political, commercial, and social life of the city of Galway in western Ireland between the 13th and 16th centuries. Members of the 'Tribes' were considered Old English gentry, and distinguished themselves from the Gaelic peoples who lived in the hinterland of the city. The Lynches were descended from William Le Petit who was one of the Norman knights who settled in Ireland following the intervention in Irish affairs of Henry II of England in the early 12th century. Semper Fidelis appears on the Lynch Family coat of arms. Although the earliest traceable reference to its doing so is James Hardiman's history of Galway published in 1820, the history of the family makes it likely that the motto was in use by the 14th or 15th century.

The United States Marine Corps adopted the motto, Semper Fidelis in 1883, on the initiative of the 8th Commandant of the Marine Corps, Colonel Charles McCawely. There were three mottos prior to Semper Fidelis including "Fortitudine" (meaning "with courage") antedating the War of 1812, which was a nod to the British Royal Marines, "Per Mare, Per Terram" (Latin for By sea, By Land) and, up until 1843, there was also the motto "To the Shores of Tripoli". "Semper fidelis" signifies the dedication and loyalty that individual Marines are expected to have for "Corps and Country", even after leaving service. The Marines frequently shorten the motto to "Semper Fi."

* "Semper Fidelis" is also the title of the official march of the United States Marine Corps, composed by John Philip Sousa in 1889. Sousa was director of the United States Marine Band ("The President's Own") when a replacement for Hail to the Chief was requested, but later rejected. Sousa considered it to be his "most musical" march. It was prominently featured in the movie A Few Good Men. Lyrics to the march were written by Charles Burr and can be found on Wikisource.

* On every eagle, globe and anchor in the Marine Corps, the eagle holds a ribbon emblazoned "Semper Fidelis".
