A Soldier's Prayer Poem
Lord, I ask for courage.
Courage to face and
Conquer my own fears...
Courage to take me where
Others will
not go.
I ask for strength...
Strength of body to protect others...
Strength of spirit to lead others.
I ask for dedication...
Dedication
to my job, to do it well...
Dedication to my country,
To keep it safe.
Give me, Lord, concern...
For those who trust me
And compassion
for those
Who need me, and Please Lord...
Through it all be at my side.
The Army Mom's Prayer
Dear Lord,
Give me the greatness of heart
to see the difference
between a mother's love and duty to country.
Give
me understanding that I may know,
when duty calls them they must go.
Give me a task to do each day,
to fill my thoughts when they're
away.
And Lord, when they're in a foreign land,
keep them safe in your loving hand.
And Lord, when duty is in the field,
please protect
them and be their shield.
And Lord, when deployment is so long,
please give me the support to remain strong.
Amen
US Army 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.
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.
