The Code of the Legionnaires
This is important--All Legionnaire's must swear to follow this code.
This is important--All Legionnaire's must swear to follow this code.
As Legionnaires, we strive to better ourselves and be seen as shining examples to all around us. Therefore, we accept this Code of Conduct as a way to live our lives, and vow that we will not violate The Code, under penalty of our higher conscience.
Should we break this code, whether purposely or not, we know that we are forgiven. However, all Legionnaires stand forever in The Shadow of Truth. The only ones who are fooled are those who live in denial. If you break any part of this Code of Honor, learn from your weaknesses and break the Code no more. Remember, the most powerful weapons a Legionnaire possesses are The Seven Virtues:
Benevolence: We are charitable and wish to do good for others.
Faithfulness: Trust in your fellow Legionnaire's and support them in their endevours. Never turn your back or leave a comrade behind.
Humility: We are modest in regards to our own importance and submit to the greater good. We are proud but not arrogant and keep an open heart and mind to the opinion of others. We challenge unenlightened authority.
Integrity: We adhere to the moral and ethical principles of The Legionnaires by acting honorably and ensuring a soundness of character. We are honest in our dealings with others and serve as role models and mentors.
Loyalty: We must be loyal to our families, friends and fellow Legionnaires. We must stand together in strength knowing that if we are weak, we weaken the armor of the whole and the innocent will suffer.
Mercy: We are compassionate towards others even in their defeat. If we must judge, we must also forgive.
Patience: Don't rush, persevere. If something stands in your way, go around it. We must try not to complain, just maintain the tenacity not to quit.
