"Here Rests In Honored Glory
An American Soldier Known But To God"

The Sentinel's Creed

My dedication to this sacred duty is total and wholehearted.     
In the responsibility bestowed on me never will I falter.      
And with dignity and perseverance my standard will remain perfection.     
Through the years of diligence and praise and the discomfort of the elements,      
I will walk my tour in humble reverence to the best of my ability.     
It is he who commands the respect I protect.      
His bravery that made us so proud.      
Surrounded by well meaning crowds by day alone in the thoughtful peace of night,      
                        this soldier will in honored glory rest under my eternal vigilance.
