Thinking Man's Corner

Derived from the article “The Warriors Code,” by Leo H.

I stand the line.
I face the danger others turn from.
I serve without seeking praise.

I master my craft.
I hold justice without bias.
I stay loyal to those I protect.

I defend the weak.
I walk the hard road.
I meet fear with courage.

I keep faith when times are dark.
I stay humble when times are good.
I give what I can.

I speak the truth.
I guard my honor.
I earn my place each day.

I answer every call.
I show pride without arrogance.
I will not let the line break.

I learn.
I teach what is proven.
I hold myself and others accountable.

I am not born a warrior.
I become one through discipline.
I stay one through duty.

My armor is my character.
My strength is my resolve.
My code is my guide.

This is my creed.
I will live it.
I will pass it on.
