Semper paratus means "always prepared." It's a motto for a United States Marine Corps unit, a phrase that says a lot about how we Marines, as Americans, have become a people.

So they are always prepared for what is coming?

Not quite. The phrase originally comes from the ancient Roman Empire. They were said to be Semper Paratus because they were always ready to march. It means they were ready to join an army at any time. It means that they were always prepared for battle. The Marines live by this motto. We are a people who love our nation and our way of life. We are forever prepared for war, and to protect the principles we hold dear. Semper Paratus means "always prepared", and that's what the Marines are, always prepared to stand up for what's right, to defend our nation and our way of life, no matter what stands in our way.
