Military Child's Creed
I am a Warrior in my own right and a member of a Military Family.
I serve with my Military Parent, who serves the people of the United States.
I will always place the mission first: To stand beside, behind and with my Family.
I will never accept defeat. I will never quit. I will not leave a fellow military-brat hurting.
I will stand beside them.
I am disciplined, but young; physically and mentally tough, but vulnerable.
I will ask for help when I need it! I am adaptable and I am resilient.
I stand ready to say “Good-bye”, whisper “I miss You” and shout “Welcome Home”.
I am a representative of the American Military Family and the American way of life.
I am an American Military Child.
