Semper paratus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the common motto of the scouting movement, see Scout Motto. For the 1928 song, see Semper Paratus (march).
Semper Paratus is a Latin phrase, meaning "Always Ready". Sometimes shortened to Semper P. It is used as the official motto of some organizations, such as the United States Coast Guard. A 1928 song of the same name is also used as the U.S. Coast Guard's official march, and the phrase appears on the organization's flag.
