This is my squad. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

My squad is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.

My squad, without me, is useless. Without my squad, I am useless. I must guide my squad true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will...

My squad and myself know that what counts in this war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit...

So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy, but peace!
