English term or phrase: Everything for family.
This is intended to be engraved on a Marine NCO sword to show my dedication to my family.
The intent is for the meaning to be a short form of "Everything I sacrifice, I sacrifice it for my family."

The US Marine Corps' motto is "Semper Fidelis" meaning "Always Faithful" (or at least that's the definition that is given). If a similar translation of "Everything for family" is possible, that would be ideal, so that anyone familiar with the Marine's motto could make the connection. Something like "fidelis familiaris."

Thank you.

Explanation:
I think you can use "Omnia pro familia", as an abbreviated motto for the entire sentence: "Omnia mea familiae praepono" (I sacrifice everything for my family).
