7 Core Army Values and What They Mean to Me The seven core army values are broken up into Loyalty‚Duty‚ Respect‚ Selfless Services‚ Honor‚ Integrity‚ Personal Courage. The first of these is loyalty; Loyalty to me is keeping your word or backing up or trusting a friend even when others do not. I think trust is a big part of loyalty.

Should children be allowed to wear uniforms to school? The debate on wearing uniforms to school has been going on for decades. Some schools in America give in to the students‚ but not in Singapore.
