THE SOLDIER’S CODE

---

Gen Dwight D. Eisenhower addresses troops of the 101st Airborne Division prior to D-Day Normandy, 5JUN1944

The Soldier’s Code

1) I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.

2) I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender my men while they still have the means to resist.

3) If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.

4) If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me, and will back them up in every way.

5) When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am bound to give only name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies, or harmful to their cause.

6) I will never forget that I am an American fighting man, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower, August, 1955.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

God bless our troops, past, present and future who sacrifice
so much to keep us from harm! We can NEVER repay them, but we
can honor them!

I see that we both like whatever it is that Connie cooks! LOL!

I have eaten at her house, and she IS a great cook! :D

I feel Arizona calling me back - had a nice visit out there about 20 years ago.

I did see the moose at the race track....they are pretty quick if pressed, but not that quick. LOL!

Across the street and one door down just a couple weeks ago.

[Kathy in Alaska]

And the winner of tonight's silver....Mrs.N!!

[luvie]

You should go! We had a blast. Wish you had come when we did.

Maybe we’ll all get together again and you CAN be with us.
That would be awesome!

[ConorMacNessa]

Down here we get deer but no moose. They get deer within the District of Columbia - they come down through Rock Creek Park.

Thanks, Mac, for the Missing Man Setting. We must never forget those that gave their all for us to be free and safe.

[Eaker]

Thanks LUV!

[ConorMacNessa]

That would be really great if we could swing it!
