Just a heads up but he was a Sailor, not a Marine
the marines are still under the department of Navy, so it's still correct.

RIP.

I don't think that really matters. If I said "Semper Fi" to my brother in the Navy he would think I was smoking crack.
Its been the officially adopted motto of the Marine Corps since 1883
Sorry Buddy, but you'll never hear a SEAL say "Semper Fi".
