So be proud of them, because they are proud to serve you. Respect them, because they defend the things that make our nation the finest in the world. And please love them, because they stand on the walls of freedom, and keep them safe for the rest of us to sleep soundly at night. That is the real meaning of their motto Semper Fidelis-- "Always Faithful." They always have been, and always will be. Even if it takes five hundred years to prove it.
