I will always place the mission first.
I will never accept defeat.
I will never quit.
I will never leave a fallen comrade.
I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills. I always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself.
I am an expert and I am a professional.

Two Soldiers from our base died early in '06 in a terrible HUMVEE collision. They were in a HUMVEE protecting a convoy, when they entered very dense fog. The HUMVEE hit a dumptruck head on. Two angels who wear the uniform, had fallen. This video is their unit taking them to the choppers, rendering final honors, and coming to grips with the loss.
Corny or not. I was welcomed home (for R&R) just like this. We were the first off the plane, our bags were held separate, and people thanked me for my job. I have no words.
