Soldier's Creed

Soldier's 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  !  !

These words are powerful!  During the graduation ceremony, one soldier recited this creed which is spoken in a distinct cadence and rhythm.  At the end all the platoons (over 200 soldiers) recited it together, it was dynamic!  

They believe it, they live it...Thank a soldier!
