The
Soldiers Creed - Coast Guard |
I am proud to be a United States Coast
Guardsman.
I revere that long line of expert seamen who by their devotion to duty
and sacrifice of self have made it possible for me to be a member of a
service honored and respected, in peace and in war, throughout the
world.
I never, by work or deed, will bring reproach upon the fair name of my
service, nor permit others to do so unchallenged.
I will cheerfully and willingly obey all lawful orders.
I will always be on time to relieve, and shall endeavor to do more,
rather than less, than my share.
I will always be at my station, alert and attending to my duties.
I shall, so far as I am able, bring to my seniors solutions, not problems.
I shall live joyously, but always with due regard for the rights and
privileges of others.
I shall endeavor to be a model citizen in the community in which I live.
I shall sell life dearly to an enemy of my country, but give it freely to
rescue those in peril.
With God’s help, I shall endeavor to be one of His noblest Works...
A UNITED STATES COAST GUARDSMAN. |

The
Soldiers Creed - Marines |
This is my rifle. There are many like
it, but this one is mine.
My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must
master
my life.
My rifle, without me, is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must
fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to
kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will…
My rifle and myself know that what counts in this war is not the rounds
we fire, the noise of our burst, or the smoke we make. We know that it
is the hits that count. We will hit…
My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it
as
a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its
accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my rifle clean and
ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We
will…
Before God, I swear this creed. My rifle and myself are the defenders of
my country. We are the
masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until victory is America’s and there is no enemy, but peace! |

Soldiers Creed - Navy |

I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States of
America, and I will obey the orders of those appointed over me.
I represent the fighting spirit of the Navy and those who have gone
before me to defend freedom and democracy around the world.
I proudly serve my country's Navy combat team with Honor, Courage,
and Commitment.
I am committed to excellence and the fair treatment of all." |
