TO EACH OTHER, TO OUR COUNTRY, AND TO THE BATTLES AHEAD.

  (SEMPER FIDELIS) 

“ALWAYS  FAITHFUL”

Latin for “Always Faithful,” Semper Fidelis is the motto of every Marine—an eternal and collective commitment to the success of our battles, the progress of our Nation, and the steadfast loyalty to the fellow Marines we fight alongside. Established in 1883, this motto distinguishes the bond developed and shared between Marines. It goes beyond words that are spoken, as it is a warriorhood that is lived.

After Glow

I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one. I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done. I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the way, of happy times and laughing times bright and sunny days. I’d like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the Sun of happy memories that I leave when life is done
