Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the Marine Corps Flag – Official USMC Flag Made in the USA state flag — including history, display rules, sizing, and where to buy.
The official United States Marine Corps flag features the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor emblem on a scarlet field, with a gold scroll reading 'United States Marine Corps' and the motto 'Semper Fidelis' — Always Faithful — beneath the emblem. The scarlet and gold colors are the official colors of the Marine Corps.
The official colors of the United States Marine Corps are scarlet and gold. Scarlet represents the blood shed by Marines in battle. Gold represents the excellence and high standards the Corps demands of every Marine. These two colors appear on every official USMC flag.
Semper Fidelis is Latin for 'Always Faithful.' It is the official motto of the United States Marine Corps and appears on a gold scroll on the Marine Corps flag beneath the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor emblem. Marines commonly shorten it to 'Semper Fi.'
For most homes, storefronts, and posts, a nylon Marine Corps flag is the best choice. It flies easily in a light breeze, dries quickly after rain, and holds the scarlet and gold colors well under UV. For high-wind locations, coastal areas near Marine bases, or exposed flagpoles, a heavy-duty 2-ply polyester USMC flag is the more durable option.
For a 20-foot pole, a 3x5 ft Marine Corps flag is standard. For a 25-foot pole, go with a 4x6 ft flag. For 30 feet or taller, a 5x8 ft flag is recommended. When flying the USMC flag on the same pole as the American flag, choose the Marine Corps flag one size smaller to keep the display in proper proportion.
Gold fringe is optional but very popular for formal rooms, ceremonies, color guards, and presentation sets. The gold fringe finish is the traditional standard for churches, government buildings, VFW halls, American Legion posts, auditoriums, and Marine veteran organizations.
