A New Code
The Veteran Code of Conduct was created by veterans for veterans to be a North Star to guide us in continuing to serve with honor. Those who pledge to live by the Code will be keeping the faith with their oath, their country, and their fellow veterans. Join us by signing the pledge.
The Veteran Code Of Conduct
ARTICLE I:
I am an American veteran, standing with my fellow citizens to serve my country and our way of life. I remember and continue to honor my Oath to the Constitution.
ARTICLE II:
I will always place my loyalty to the United States above political party, community over self, and act in the best interests of all my fellow citizens.
ARTICLE III:
As I once defended all Americans, I will continue to stand for the equality and dignity of all.

I hold myself and all servants of the public trust, including elected leaders, government servants, and law enforcement, to the highest moral, ethical, and professional standards.
ARTICLE V:
I will not take up arms against the lawful government or my fellow citizens and will support the peaceful transfer of power. I will use my voice, my vote, and the respect I have earned from my fellow citizens to build a more perfect union.
ARTICLE VI:
I will never forget that I am an American veteran, continuing to stand for the Constitution and all the rights it enshrines, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free.
