is reassuring to know that in an hour of need,
America has and still produces brave unselfish
warriors who are willing to sacrifice for what our
country believes right and decent.

The Enlistment Oath
"I do solemnly swear that I will
support and defend the Constitution of the United
States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;
that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the
same; and that I will obey the orders of the
President of the United States and the orders of
the officers appointed over me, according to

I AM AN AMERICAN
FIGHTING MAN
I am an American fighting
man. I serve in the forces which guard my country
and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life
in their defense. I will never surrender of my own
free will. If in command I will never surrender my
men while they still have the means to resist. If I
am captured I will continue to resist by all means
available. I will make every effort to escape and
aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole
nor special favors from the enemy. If I become a
prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow
prisoners. I will give no information or take part
in any action which might be harmful to my
comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If
not I will obey the lawful orders of those
appointed over me and will back them up in every
way. When questioned, should I become a prisoner of
war, I am required to give name, rank, service
number, and date of birth. I will evade answering
further questions to the utmost of my ability. I
will make no written statements disloyal to my
country and its allies or harmful to their cause. I
will never forget that I am an American fighting
man, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to
the principles.
