"Duty, Honor,
Country:
Those three hallowed words reverently dictate
what you OUGHT to be, what you
CAN be, what you
WILL be. They are your rallying points: to build courage when courage seems to fail; to regain faith when there seems to be little
cause for faith; to create hope when hope becomes forlorn."
"They build your basic character. They mold you for your future roles as the
custodians of the nation's defense. They make you
STRONG
enough to know when you are weak, and
BRAVE
enough to face yourself when you are afraid. They teach you to be proud and
unbending in honest failure, but humble and gentle in success."
"They give you a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor
of the emotions...they teach you in this way to be an
OFFICER and a
GENTLEMAN."
