To uphold
and defend the Constitution of the United States of America; to maintain
law and order; to foster and perpetuate a one hundred percent Americanism;
to preserve the memories and incidents of our associations in the
great 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
goodwill 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.
