Creed of the United States Coast Guardsman (written by VADM Harry G. Hamlet, USCG)<br /> I am proud to be a United States Coast Guardsman.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> I never, by word or deed, will bring reproach upon the fair name of my service, nor permit others to do so unchallenged.<br /> <br /> I will cheerfully and willingly obey all lawful orders.<br /> <br /> I will always be on time to relieve, and shall endeavor to do more, rather than less, than my share.<br /> <br /> I will always be at my station, alert and attending to my duties.<br /> <br /> I shall, so far as I am able, bring to my seniors solutions, not problems.<br /> <br /> I shall live joyously, but always with due regard for the rights and privileges of others.<br /> <br /> I shall endeavor to be a model citizen in the community in which I live.<br /> <br /> I shall sell life dearly to an enemy of my country, but give it freely to rescue those in peril.<br /> <br /> With God&rsquo;s help, I shall endeavor to be one of His noblest Works...<br /> <br /> A UNITED STATES COAST GUARDSMAN.
