To Those We Serve
I believe in the ideals of democracy and the concept of universal brotherhood. I acknowledge no barriers of country, race, class or creed.
I believe that service to others is the origination of mankind. That every right I claim imposes a responsibility, and every possession implies a duty.
To bring comfort to those who are in trouble, to alleviate suffering, and to conserve life is my mission.
Wherever disaster calls there I shall go. I ask not for whom, but only where I am needed.
