Airman's Creed

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In 2007, General T. Michael Moseley, Chief of Staff of the US Air Force, introduced the Airman's Creed[1] The intent was to enhance the building of a warrior ethos among its Airmen, as it has steadily been transitioning towards a more martial culture since the events of September 11th, 2001. The new Creed also replaced all existing Air Force creeds, such as the Non-Commissioned Officer Creeds[2]

[edit] The Airman's Creed

I am an American Airman.
I am a warrior.

I have answered my nation’s call.

I am an American Airman.
My mission is to fly, fight, and win.
I am faithful to a proud heritage,
A tradition of honor,
And a legacy of valor.

I am an American Airman,
Guardian of freedom and justice,
My nation’s sword and shield,
Its sentry and avenger.
I defend my country with my life.

I am an American Airman:
Wingman, leader, warrior.
I will never leave an Airman behind,
I will never falter,
And I will not fail.
