Each and every soldier in the United States Army is required not only to know the Army Values, but to live them every day of their life, every moment, and in every decision they make, in or out of uniform, whether on post, on leave, or on the field of battle.
Of course the first step in being able to live the Army Values is to know them. Following is a list of the seven Army Values and their meanings. To help you to remember the Army Values, remember the acronym LDRSHIP.
Loyalty - Bear true faith and allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, the Army, your unit, and other soldiers.
Duty - Fulfill your obligations.
Respect - Treat people as they should be treated.
Selfless Service - Put the welfare of the Nation, the Army, and your subordinates before your own.
Honor - Live up to all the Army Values.
Integrity - Do what's right, legally and morally.
Personal Courage - Face fear, danger, or adversity - physical or moral.
Memorize these values. Learn them and live them. We are truly a fortunate and proud team, a small group of few who were chosen to bear the honor of defending the freedoms of the hundreds of millions of people who make up this great nation of ours, and to represent this fine nation to our countrymen and to the rest of the world. Let us all carry ourselves every day with loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage and show them what it truly means to be an American!
