OBLIGATION
In the presence of Almighty God, I do, of my
own free will and accord, solemnly promise and declaire
that:
I will bear true allegiance -- to the
Constitution of the United States of America -- and I will always be
loyal thereto.
I do further solemnly promise and declare --
that I wil comply with the Congressional Charter, By-Laws and Ritual
of this order -- and I will always be loyal thereto -- that I will
never wrong or defraud this organization -- nor a member thereof --
nor permit any wrong to be done to either -- if in my power to
prevent it.
I will never propose for membership -- any
person not eligible -- according to our Congressional Charter -- nor
one whom I know to be unworthy.
I will never make know to anyone -- not
authorized to receive it -- any of the work of this
order.
Should my affiliation with the Veterans of
Foreign Wars of the United States cease in any way -- I will
consider this pledge as biding outside of the order as though I had
remained a member of same.
All this I promise and pledge -- upon the
honor of a true comrade -- and a citizen of our great
Republic. |
