SIFA

May we always remember those who have gone before Us;
May we be inspired by their vision and valor;
May their lives continuously remind Us …
That service is more important than success.

That people are more important than possessions.
That principle is more important than power.

May whatever we do be shaped and molded by honesty, competence, and commitment.
May our children and our children’s children carry forth with pride
the nobility of our history and traditions. 

To the Creator of all of Us, we dedicate our lives
 to make this world better and more beautiful.
