SOLDIERS 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.

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.

I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy the enemies of the United States of America in close combat.

I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life. I am an American Soldier.

Edgar Glover, Jr. Elementary School:

Show your appreciation to veterans today! They serve and protect us

everyday!
