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 overall.
If necessary,
I will fight to my death.
By my steadfast courage,
I have won more than 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!
