uncle mikey couldn't say sayonara without another march. Semper Fidelis is Latin for "Always Faithful". Not sometimes; not usually; always. It is not negotiable. It is not relative. It is absolute. It is the motto of the United States Marine Corps adopted in 1883 at the initiative of Colonel Charles Grymes McCawley, the 8th Commandant of the Marine Corps. It is also the title of the official march of The Corps (heard on this tone which is, without doubt, Semper Fidelis; always), composed in 1889 by John Philip Sousa (and that's with one "L" not two, two "S"es not three, and no "F" or "Z" period; always). Have a safe and happy Fourth. An unrepayable debt of gratitude is owed to many for that simple pleasure. Here's to bravery, heroes, and freedom. Semper Fi.
