To uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America; to maintain law and order;

to foster and perpetuate a 100-percent Americanism; to preserve the memories and incidents of

our associations in all wars; to inculcate a sense of individual obligation to the community, state and nation;

to combat the autocracy of both the classes and the masses; to make right the master of might;

to promote peace and good will on earth; to safeguard and transmit to posterity the principles of justice;

freedom and democracy; to consecrate and sanctify our comradeship by our devotion to mutual helpfulness."
