Soldier's Creed

Thanks to ArrMatey over at CourtZero blog and Pirate Pundit Radio.

Now for the words of ArrMatey: Dusting off my trusty Bugle Notes, I recall this (well, my version is old school, as they say, so a few words are different now than they were in 1985)

I am an American Soldier.

I am a Warrior and a member of a team. I serve the people of the United States of America and
live the Army Values.

I will always place the mission first.

I will never accept defeat.

I will never quit.

I will never leave a fallen comrade.

I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and
drills. I always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself.

I am an expert and I am a professional.

I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy the enemies of the United States of America in close combat.

I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life.

I am an American Soldier.
