Airman's Creed

I am an American Airman
I am a warrior
I have answered my nation's call.

I am an American Airman.
My mission is to fly, fight, and win.
I am faithful to a proud heritage,
A tradition of honor,
And a legacy of valor.

I am an American Airman.
Guardian of freedom and justice,
My nation's sword and shield,
Its sentry and avenger.
I defendant my country with my life.

I am an American Airman.
Wingman, Leader, Warrior.
I will never leave an airman behind,
I will never falter,
And I will not fail.
