Honor Guard Creed
I am a proud member of the
14th Flying Training Wing Honor Guard --
an organization rich in tradition and history.
I uphold the honor of our nation’s flag and
offer final respects as departed comrades are laid to rest.
My standards of conduct and level of professionalism
place me at the top of all those in our nation’s service.
The level at which I perform is never dictated
by the type of ceremony, the severity of the temperature,
nor the size of the audience.
I execute all movements sharply and proudly,
for I represent every member, past, present and future
of the United States Air Force.
