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.
