Honor Guard Creed

  • Handpicked to serve as a member of the United States Air Force Honor Guard, my standards of conduct and level of professionalism must be above reproach, for I represent all others in my service.
  • Others earned the right for me to wear the ceremonial uniform, one that is honored in a rich tradition and history.  I will honor their memory by wearing it properly and proudly. 
  • Never will I allow my performance to be dictated by the type of ceremony, severity of the temperature or size of the crowd.  I will remain superbly conditioned to perfect all movements throughout every drill and ceremony.
  • Obligated by my oath, I am constantly driven to excel by a deep devotion to duty and a strong sense of dedication.
  • Representing every member, past and present, of the United States Air Force, I vow to stand sharp, crisp and motionless, for I am a Ceremonial Guardsman.
