* To keep in mind the memory of their martial deeds, the victories they helped to gain, the freedoms they have preserved for us.

* To cultivate Military and Naval Science, with emphasis on Military History.

*To bear true allegiance to the United States of America, based on the paramount respect for, and fidelity to, the Constitution and Laws of our Country.
