I am an American Soldier

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.
