(The source of the above text is The National Museum of the Marine Corps and Heritage Center. It is not relative, but absolute.Marines pride themselves on their mission and steadfast dedication to accomplish it." Said one former Marine, "It is not negotiable. "Semper Fidelis" signifies the dedication that individual Marines have to "Corps and country," and to their fellow Marines. In 1848, this was revised to "From the halls of the Montezumas to the shores of Tripoli." The second motto was "By Sea and by Land," taken from the British Royal Marines "Per Mare, Per Terram." Until 1848, the third motto was "To the shores of Tripoli." Inscribed on the Marine Corps colors, this commemorated Presley O'Bannon's capture of the city of Derne in 1805. The first of these, antedating the War of 1812, was "Fortitudine." The Latin phrase for "with courage," it was emblazoned on the brass shako plates worn by Marines during the Federal period.
Prior to that date three mottoes, all traditional rather than official, were used. The Marine Corps adopted the motto "Semper Fidelis" in 1883. Over the years Marines have picked up nicknames like "Devil Dog" and "Leatherneck" and have adopted phrases "Semper Fidelis," "the Few, the Proud," and "Esprit de Corps." From the Marines' Hymn to the famous Eagle, Globe, and Anchor emblem, there is much to learn about the terminology of the Corps. Let us help you celebrate your Marine!
