Always Faithful

I always did like motto of the Marines, Semper Fi, being always faithful, meaning unswerving adherence and loyalty to a person or thing. That’s why I liked the following story. “Newsweek printed an article years ago titled “Letters in the Sand,” a compilation of letters written by military personnel to family and friends in the States during the Gulf War. One was written by Marine Corporal Preston Coffer. He told a friend, ‘We are talking about Marines, not the Boy Scouts. We all joined the service knowing full well what might be expected of us.’ He signed off with the Marine motto, Semper Fi, Latin for always faithful. The Bible says, Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful’. (Corinthians 4:2) NIV” ——From 1001 Quotes, Illustrations & Humorous Stories
