"War drew us from our homeland

In the sunlit springtime of our youth.

Those who did not come back alive remain

In perpetual springtime--forever young--

And a part of them is with us always."

   Author Unknown

I solemnly pledge myself before God and these witnesses to practice faithfully
all of my duties as a member o f the Hospital Corps.  I hold the care of the sick and
injured to be a privilege and sacred trust and will assist the Medical Officer with loyalty
and honesty. I will not knowingly permit harm to come to any patient. I will hold all personal
matters pertaining to the private lives of patients in strict confidence. I dedicate my heart, mind
and strength to the work before me. I shall do all within my power to show in myself an example of
all that is honorable and good throughout my naval career.

Below are those men who gave their lives while serving with us...
