When did the term "Semper Fi," an abbreviation of Semper Fidelis, come into being?Although not exactly recorded in history, one story stands out.
Sometime shortly after the Beirut bombing in 1983, thenCommandant of the Marine Corps General Paul X. Kelley was visiting a wounded Marine in the hospital. The lad shook the Commandant's hand and then scribbled the words "Semper Fi" on a piece of paper. It was the Marine's way of saying "Semper Fidelis." Gen Kelley became emotional and said, "Lord, where do we get such men?" The press picked up on it.
After that the term "Semper Fi" was given new life and a new meaning among Marines. However, for older Marines, the term had a slightly different meaning. Today while one understands "Semper Fi" to be a Marine greeting, in the pas. "Semper Fi, Mac" meant "I got mine, how you doing?"

In the photo of the female warrior the U.S. flag on her shirt is questionable. I've seen it on the troops jackets while watching CNN and wonder about it. The star field is positioned on the right instead of the left, and the flag has a gold border. It reminds me of America today: inside out, upside down and backwards.
So what's new? As CFR-member Arthur Schlesinger Jr. said: "In defense of the World Order U.S. soldiers would have to kill and die". They're being used as cannon fodder. Now Israel is ordering them into Syria. You'll find more at www.sweetliberty.org -- Jackie
