    What organization has the motto 'Peace Is Our Profession'?

    Question #23696. Asked by Maggie. (Oct 30 02 2:52 AM)

    		Strangely it is Strategic Air Command, America's nuclear deterrent. The original motto of SAC was War is our profession - Peace is our product. Some objected to it and it was changed to Maintaining Peace is our profession. In late 1957, a large Christmas tree was erected in front of SAC headquarters. A sign was to proclaim the motto, but there were too many letters, so the word 'maintaining' was eliminated. Project officers like the result and it stuck. One took it back to Westover AFB, Massachusetts and had a similar sign erected at the main gate. Other Eighth Air Force bases followed the example. Later in 1958, Peace is our profession' was officially adopted as SAC's motto. http://www.strategic-air-command.com/
