The Soldier's Creed

I am an American Soldier.� I am a member of the United States Army--a protector of the greatest nation on earth.� Because I am proud of the uniform I wear, I will always act in ways creditable to the military service and the nation it is sworn to guard.

I am proud of my own organization.� I will do all I can to make it the finest unit in the Army.� I will be loyal to those under whom I serve.� I will do my full part to carry out orders and instructions given to me or my unit.

As a soldier, I realize that I am a member of a time-honored profession--that I am doing my share to keep alive the principles of freedom for which my country stands. � No matter what the situation I am in, I will never do anything, for pleasure, profit, or personal safety, which will disgrace my uniform, my unit, or my country. � I will use every means I have, even beyond the line of duty, to restrain my Army comrades from actions disgraceful to themselves and to the uniform.

I am proud of my country and its flag.� I will try to make the people of this nation proud of the service I represent, for I am an American Soldier.
