Patriotism: Devoting our loyalty and love to our country, including working to make it better
Citizenship: Actively participating in our democracy and in our community
Courage: Persevering in worthy endeavors despite fear
Integrity: Being honest, keeping our word, and doing what is right, even when no one is watching
Sacrifice: Giving of ourselves in the service of others
Commitment: Devoting time, energy or resources to causes in which we believe.
