LIVE WITH INTEGRITY… for without integrity we deceive ourselves, we live in a house of cards.
FIGHT FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE…for without valor we lose our freedom.
BE WILLING TO SACRIFICE…for anything worthy in life requires sacrifice.
BE DISCIPLINED… for it is discipline that builds the foundation of your success.

Be a man of principal. Fight for what you believe in.
Keep your word. Live with integrity. Be brave.
BELIEVE IN SOMETHING BIGGER THAN YOURSELF.
Serve your country. Teach. Mentor. Give something back to society. Lead from the front. Conquer your fears. Be a good friend. Be humble but be self-confident. Appreciate your friends and family. Be a leader and not a follower. Be valorous on the field of battle and take responsibility for your actions.
