Constitution of the United States of America. To Maintain Law and Order;
to foster and perpetuate a 100% Americanism; to preserve the memories
and incidents of our association in the Great Wars; to inculcate a sense
of individual obligation to the Community, State and Nation; to combat
both the autocracy of both the Classes and the Masses, to make Right the
master of might; to promote peace and good will on Earth; to safeguard
and transmit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom and
democracy; to consecrate and sanctify our comradeship by our devotion to
mutual helpfulness.
