"Marines are warriors.
Comprised of smart, highly adaptable men and women, the Marine Corps serves as the aggressive tip of the U.S. military spear. Ours is a smaller, more dynamic force than any other in the American arsenal, and the only forward-deployed force designed for expeditionary operations by air, land, or sea. It is our size and expertise that allow us to move faster. Working to overcome disadvantage and turn conflict into victory, we accomplish great things, and we do so together. In the Marine Corps, there is a motto that describes our commitment to each other, our organization, and our country. It is Semper Fidelis or 'Semper Fi.' Translated from Latin, it means 'Always Faithful.

'Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference. The Marines don't have that problem.'- President Ronald Reagan, 1985"
