Latin for "Always Faithful"

Semper Fidelis is Latin for "always faithful".

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