Creed

The creed is as follows:[4]

I am a member of the United States Air Force High Frontier Honor Guard. I represent an elite team of dedicated men and women charged to honor our nation, its flag and those who have served our nation well. As a member of this team, I will strive to excel while performing my duty. I will dedicate myself toward principles of honor, integrity, commitment and dedication – the foundation on which this unit stands. I realize that only through hard work and training will I achieve distinction. I am unique – second to none – best of the best and above the rest.
