It takes less than a minute to be sworn into military service. It
takes a lifetime of selfless sacrifice to uphold the duty sworn to
within those 60 seconds.
The men and women with whom I have served understand that obligation. We are dedicated to preserving the union and defending the ideals instilled by our nation's founding fathers.
And, just as they did in Philadelphia 233 years ago, to this cause, we also mutually pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.
God bless America and all she stands for.
