Included on this page is the Sailor's Creed, which reads as follows:
Sailor's Creed
I am a United States Sailor.
I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America and I will obey the orders of those appointed over me.
I represent the fighting spirit of the Navy and all who have gone before me to defend freedom and democracy around the world.
I proudly serve my country's Navy combat team with Honor, Courage and Commitment.
I am committed to excellence and the fair treatment of all.
Every item on these 12x12 pages is paper pieced, and hand inked or chalked. All artwork is original, including the ship, so you will not find it anywhere else. There is a tag for journaling, which slips under the photo mat on the second page between the sailor bear and the star. The photo mats are stitched and inked, and the surrounding embellishments are glued so the photos will easily slide under. The Sailor bears are also popped at an angle to give them the look of standing.
