THE AMERICAN'S CREED

I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people,
by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent
of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign
States; a perfect Union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of
freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed
their lives and fortunes.

I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its
Constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its Flag; and to
defend it against all enemies.
