Infantryman's Creed

   I am the Infantry.
   I am my country's strength in war,
          her deterent in peace.
   I am the heart of the fight-,
          wherever, whenever.
   I carry America's faith and honor
          against her enemies.
   I am the Queen of Battle.


   I am what my country expects me to be-
          the best trained soldier in the world.
   In the race for victory,
          I am swift, determined, and courageous,
          anrmed with a fierce will to win.


   Never will I fail my country's trust.
   Always I fight on-
          through the foe,
          to the objective,           to triumph over all.
   If necessary, I fight to my death.


   By my steadfast courage,
          I have won 200 years of freedom.
   I yield not-
          to weakness,
          to hunger,
          to cowardice,
          to fatigue,
          to superior odds,
          for I am mentally tough, physically strong,
          and morally straight.


   I forsake not-
          my country,
          my mission,
          my comrades,
          my sacred duty.


   I am relentless.
   I am always there,
          now and forever.

   I AM THE INFANTRY!
   FOLLOW ME!
