H.S.S.P FIREFIGHTERS Service Above Self
My badge is a symbol of honor and heritage bestowed upon me by the Heroes that have gone before and embodies the trust of those I am sworn to protect. By wearing the Maltese Cross I accept the responsibility of my chosen profession and it is a privilege that I must earn every day. My loyalty to this community and my crew is beyond reproach. I humbly serve as a Guardian to my community always ready to respond to those who are unable to help themselves. I do not advertise the nature of my work or seek recognition for my actions. I voluntarily accept the inherent hazards of my profession placing the welfare and security of others before my own. I serve with honor on and off duty. The ability to control my emotions and my actions regardless of circumstances sets me apart from other people. Uncompromising integrity is my standard. My character and honor are steadfast. Adapted from the Navy SEAL Creed by David Hollenbach.
