Something that sticks in my head all the time now, is the Soldier's Creed: "I am an American Soldier. I am a Warrior and a member of a team. I serve the people of the United States and live the Army Values. [I will always place the mission first. I will never accept defeat. I will never quit. I will never leave a fallen comrade.] (Warrior Ethos) I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my Warrior tasks and drills.
