| stupid beyond all belief  |
working on a video for Veterans day. Would like to make sure I have my ducks in a row. Is there a latin version of This We'll Defend for the Army? I translated it but its Very long. Are these the correct Mottos? I never trust the interwebs. Army - This We'll Defend Marines - Semper Fidelis - Always Faithful Navy - Non sibi sed patriae - not for self but country airforce - Uno Ab ALto - One over all Coast Guard - Semper Paratus - ALways ready What man is a man that does not make the world better. -Balian of Ibelin Only boring people get bored. - Ruth Burke | ||

No "official" Latin for the Army motto. It would be best left as is. Be sure to share your video. Thanks.  "the meaning of life, is to give life meaning" ✡ Ani Yehudi אני יהודי Le'olam lo shuv לעולם לא שוב! | |||

From wikipedia:
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

I've been out of the AF for a couple of years now but I don't ever remember "One over all." I know that they were looking for something like the Marines had but there was never anything official. Last I knew, the AF was using "Aim High." | |||

The current Air Force slogan “Aim High... Fly-Fight-Win”. Meh.... Hedley Lamarr: Wait, wait, wait. I'm unarmed. Bart: Alright, we'll settle this like men, with our fists. Hedley Lamarr: Sorry, I just remembered . . . I am armed. | |||

I remember being told it was “Fore!” Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way.

"Aim High" is correct. I have seen it plastered over their urinals. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

I don't think the USAF has ever really had an official motto like the Army or Marines, but the current one is pretty lame: "Aim High ... Fly-Fight-Win" The Army's motto "This We'll Defend" is in Eglish and has always been, there is no Latin like the other services' mottos. | |||

Navy motto: Never Again Volunteer Yourself.  Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. "If dogs don't go to Heaven, I want to go where they go" Will Rogers The definition of the words we used, carry a meaning of their own... | |||

That was for officers, for us poor enlisted types it was "Room Service, I want to order....." I was told the Navy's Unofficial Motto was "Don't Scratch The Paint. Bring it back better than when you went out." | |||
