The Soldier's CreedBump to all of the American soliders that live this creed.I am an American Soldier.
I am a Warrior and a member of a team. I serve the people of the United States 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.
I'm so glad you posted this!! I just got through reading it in the WSJ. What a wonderful well thought letter.
I've made copies of it to pass on to others, along with emails to family and friends who have somebody or know somebody that is or has served in the Military including Iraq.
Thanks to our troops and their families for what they sacrifice for us here at home.
bttt!
