The Infantryman's Creed

I am the Infantry.
I am my country's strength in war,
	her deterrent 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, 
	armed 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!
