Latin for “Always Faithful,” Semper Fidelis is the motto of every Marine – and our organization, modeled after the real Marine Corps, is no exception. Established in 1883, this motto describes the bond forged and shared among Marines. Semper Fidelis is used as a greeting, a motivation, and a phrase that unites past and present Marines. In war or peace, Semper Fidelis speaks volumes within the Marine community. It represents tradition and responsibility – beginning the moment a young man or woman commits to becoming a U.S. Marine.
