Military Creed Specialist

Archive for the 'Coast Guard Creeds' Category

I am proud to be a United States Coast Guardsman.

I revere that long line of expert seamen who by their devotion

to duty and sacrifice of self have made it possible for me

to be a member of a service honored and respected

in peace and in war, throughout the world.

I never, by work or deed, will bring reproach

upon the fair name of my service,

nor permit others to do so unchallenged.

I will cheerfully and willingly obey all lawful orders.

I will always be on time to relieve, and shall endeavor

to do more, rather than less, then my share.

I will always be at my station,

alert and attending to my duties.

I shall, so far as I am able,

bring to my seniors solutions, not problems.

I shall live joyously, but always with due regard

for the rights and privileges of others.

I shall endeavor to be a model citizen

in the community in which I live.

I shall sell life dearly to an enemy of my country,

but give it freely to rescue those in peril.
