I am a warrior and a member of a team. I serve the people of the United States and live the Army Values.
I am a Father, I am a Son,
I am a Husband, and I am a Brother.
I am a guardian of Freedom,
And a defender of Justice.
I am the physical embodiment of the spirit of these United States
I am the strong right arm,
I am the keen eye, the first shot, and the last shot.
I will always place the mission first.
I will never accept defeat.
I will never quit.
I will never leave a fallen comrade.
But before that I, am an American Citizen,
I defend the freedom of the American way of life.
For I, Am An American Solider

...And when he gets to heaven, To St. Peter he will tell: "One more solider reporting, Sir--I've served my time in hell."
