United States Coast Guard Ceremonial Honor Guard

Honor Guardsman's Creed

I am an Honor Guardsman.

I will Proudly stand beside my shipmates despite the discomforting elements;

I will maintain Poise on and off the parade field;

I will exceed the standards and accept nothing but Perfection.

I will Honor all Coast Guard men and women both living and dead.

I will Respect the Honor Guard Mission and my Seniors.

I will Devote my maximum effort unto this sacred duty.

By wearing this rope I have accepted a commitment to Excellence as a way of life.
