Eleven veterans organizations have adopted a "Veteran's Creed" that acknowledges pride of service and a continuing shared commitment to values that strengthen the nation.

The fourth tenet of the creed states that "I continue to serve my community, my country and my fellow veterans."

The creed, which was adopted on Flag Day last week at an event at the Reserve Officers Association, was the result of extensive discussions among veterans groups that began last fall at Georgetown University.

"The creed will help prepare veterans for their productive civilian lives," said Dr. Joel Kupersmith, Director of Veterans' Initiatives at Georgetown University
