To uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States

To safeguard the principles of freedom, liberty, and justice for all

To promote the cause of peace and good will among nations;

To maintain inviolate the freedom of our country;

To preserve the fundamentals of democracy;

To perpetuate the friendship and associations of these Veterans, and

To dedicate ourselves to the cause of mutual assistance, this by the grace of God.
