OBLIGATION
In the presence of Almighty God, I do, of
my own free will and accord, solemnly promise and declare that:
I will bear true allegiance -- to the Constitution of the United States of
America -- and I will always be loyal thereto.
I do further solemnly promise and declare -- that I will comply with the
Congressional Charter, By-Laws and Ritual of this order -- and I will always be
loyal thereto -- that I will never wrong or defraud this organization -- nor a
member thereof -- nor permit any wrong to be done to either -- if in my power to
prevent it.
I will never propose for membership -- any person not eligible -- according to
our Congressional Charter -- nor one whom I know to be unworthy.
I will never make known to anyone -- not authorized to receive it -- any of the
work of this order.
Should my affiliation -- with the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States
-- cease in any way -- I will consider this pledge -- as binding outside of the
order -- as though I had remained a member of same.
All this I promise and pledge -- upon the honor of a true comrade -- and a
citizen of our great republic.
