On the last 2 days of recruit training, it’s Family Day and Graduation. New Marines get to see loved ones for the first time in 3 months. The new images from Parris Island, SC, say it all.
Semper Fidelis - Latin for “Always Faithful” - is the motto of every Marine—an eternal and collective commitment to the success of our battles, the progress of our Nation, and the steadfast loyalty to the fellow Marines we fight alongside.
May God bless them and their families as they serve our country!
