41. Integrity

42. Etymology of Integrity INTEGRITY - SOUNDNESS OF MORAL PRINCIPLE AND CHARACTER - UPRIGHTNESS - HONESTY. INTEGRITY IS ALSO AN IDEAL ... A GOAL TO STRIVE FOR ... AND FOR A MAN OR WOMAN TO "WALK IN THEIR INTEGRITY" IS TO REQUIRE CONSTANT DISCIPLINE AND USAGE. THE WORD INTEGRITY ITSELF IS A MARTIAL WORD THAT COMES TO US FROM AN ANCIENT ROMAN ARMY TRADITION.

43. Etymology During the morning inspections as the Centurian would come in front of each Legionnaire, the soldier would strike his the breastplate over his heart armor with his right fist. The armor had to be strongest there in order to protect the heart from swortd thrusts and from arrow strikes. As the soldier struck his armor, he would shout "INTEGRITAS", (IN-TEG-RI-TAS) which in Latin means material wholeness, completeness, and entirety. The Centurian would listen closely for this affirmation and also for the ring that well kept armor would give off.
