What is the Marine Corps motto?

• A. Always Loyal
• B. Semper Fidelis
• C. In God We Trust
• D. Semper Paratus

Answer: (B)

The Marine Corps motto is expressed by a Latin phrase that the service has officially adopted. Semper Fidelis translates to “Always Faithful,” capturing the idea of unwavering loyalty to the mission, to fellow Marines, to the unit, and to the country. This enduring commitment guides Marines through training, deployments, and every challenge they face, and you’ll see the motto echoed on uniforms, insignia, and in Marine tradition. Semper Paratus belongs to the Coast Guard, In God We Trust is a national motto not specific to a branch, and while "Always Loyal" conveys the same spirit, the official and precise motto used by the Marines is Semper Fidelis.
