Well, it is the official motto of the United States Marine Corps (adopted in 1883) it is abbreviated from "Semper Fidelis" which is Latin for "Always Faithful". So it is the United States Marine Corps motto, just as "Qua Patet Orbis" is the motto of the Dutch Marines. Hope that answers your question!

Well I'm from New Jersey(Its a state)most of the people in this state including me have a strong dislike for Bush(our president).
So you say German and Dutch are close, can you make out what a German person is saying? I know both your languages are different in spelling and writing (ä,ö,ü,ß you may have trouble reading).
And yes, I am still planning to enlist (unless a very cool job comes up that pays a sh*t load of money!) I think my life could be very dull otherwise and feel like I missed something.

And thanks for the tip dude!
