God, Honour, Fatherland

It is commonly seen as the motto of the military of Poland, and has been confirmed as such by several Polish legal decrees.

[3] It is likely that the phrase was brought to Poland by the soldiers of the Napoleonic-era Polish legions.

[7] This decree remained in force till it was changed by the communist government of the People's Republic of Poland in 1955 to "For Our Fatherland the People's Republic of Poland" ("Za naszą Ojczyznę Polską Rzeczpospolitą Ludową").

[8] Following the fall of communism, the "God, Honour, Fatherland" phrase was restored by the government of the Third Polish Republic in 1993.

The motto is interpreted as reconfirming the Constitution of Poland's clause about the citizen's duty to serve the Fatherland (ojczyzna), with the social contract allowing exceptions honour and faith (Ojczyźnie wszystko, prócz miłości Boga najwyższego i Honoru).
