The Soldier's Creed I am an American Soldier. I am a man/woman of the South Carolina State Guard--a protector of the greatest nation on earth. Because I am proud of the uniform I wear, I will always act in ways credible to the military service and the nation it is sworn to guard.  I am proud of my own organization. I will do all that I can to make it the finest unit of the SCSG. I will be loyal to those under whom I serve. I will do my full part to carry out orders and instructions given me or my unit.  As a soldier, I realize that I am a member of a time-honored profession--that I am doing my share to keep alive the principles of freedom for which my country stands. No matter what situation I am in, I will never do anything, for pleasure, profit, or personal safety, which will disgrace my uniform, my unit, or my country. I will use every means I have, even beyond the line of duty, to restrain my comrades from actions disgraceful to themselves and the uniform. I am proud of my country and its flag. I will try to make the people of this nation proud of the service I represent, for I am an American Soldier.
