Support Our Troops
Our troops sacrifice so much for us — time away from their families, having to live in miserable conditions while deployed, risking their lives every day, and all to defend the freedoms that we enjoy and take for granted. Some shed blood for their country, and some give their lives in the ultimate sacrifice for freedom.
What about those you don’t see? The families of the deployed, the ones who get left behind, are making sacrifices, too.
You Are Not Forgotten
Not all service members who deploy return home after their tour of duty. This is to honor those who never returned, and to recognize their sacrifice for all of us.
Code of Conduct
I. I am an American, fighting in the armed forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.
II. I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender the members of my command while they still have the means to resist.
III. If I am captured I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.
IV. If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me and will back them up in every way.
V. When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am required to give name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies or harmful to their cause.
VI. I will never forget that I am an American, fighting for freedom, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.
(Note: Established by Executive Order No. 10631 in 1955, the Code of Conduct has been amended twice throughout its history. The first was in 1977 by Executive Order 12017 and the second by Executive Order 12633 in 1988. The text above reflects those changes.)
