The Guardian's Oath

In a time when the world was shrouded in uncertainty when danger lurked in unseen corners, there arose a group of protectors, unsung and unseen. They did not seek glory, nor did they act for fame or fortune. Their only mission: is to ensure that others may live. The patch you see before you, bearing the emblem of a knight holding the serpent of life and death at bay, is not just a symbol; it is a call to action, a commitment to a higher purpose.

The phrase, "Hoc faciam ut aliis sit vivere" — "I will do this so that others may live" — echoes the ancient vow of those who put their lives on the line, their knowledge in action, and their hands in service of others. These were the guardians, people who, when the moment of crisis came, stepped forward while others stood still. They were the ones who knew how to save a life, how to stop the bleeding, how to use an AED, how to administer aid when every second counted.

The spirit of the guardian lives on today, in those who choose to learn, to prepare, and to act when the need arises. By purchasing this patch, you are not just acquiring a symbol — you are embracing the ideal of being someone who does what it takes to protect others, someone who equips themselves with the knowledge and skills necessary to save lives. It is a reminder that anyone, with the right training and the right mindset, can become a guardian.

At Cypress Education, we offer the tools, the training, and the guidance to help you fulfill that mission. Whether it's first aid, AED use, stopping life-threatening bleeding, or wilderness survival, our classes are designed to prepare you to be that protector when the moment calls. The patch is your pledge — a symbol of your commitment to learn and act, to stand in the gap for others when it matters most.

Wear it proudly, knowing that you are part of a legacy of lifesaving. You are not just a bystander, but a crucial part of this legacy, responsible for carrying it forward. And remember, the greatest act of service is to be ready, willing, and able to save a life. Take the first step today: join our classes, train with the best kits on the market, and carry the patch that marks you as someone who will do whatever it takes — so that others may live.
