This is a good farewell speech from the 12th Colonel of the 75th. He has been the commander since 9/11. Sounds proud of his men.

Awesome, as a proud former member of 2/75 INF(RGR)(ABN), I say Hooah! (Hooah not as a Army of One, Issued not Earned, but Hooah! as it was always used in the Bat's by those who were Earned Not Issued!)



If you ain't gettin shot at...THEN it's a good day!

EVERY BATTBOY PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE NEEDS TO TAKE LESS THAN 10 MINUTES OUT OF HIS DAY AND LISTEN TO THIS....

FEW PEOPLE KNOW OF THE SACRIFICES RANGERS MAKE EVERY DAY...

1 FOR THE AIRBORNE RANGER IN THE SKY

Recognizing that I volunteered as a Ranger, fully knowing the hazards of my chosen profession, I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor, and high esprit de corps of my Ranger Regiment.


Acknowledging the fact that a Ranger is a more elite soldier who arrives at the cutting edge of battle by land, sea, or air, I accept the fact that as a Ranger my country expects me to move further, faster and fight harder than any other soldier.


Never shall I fail my comrades. I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be. One-hundred-percent and then some.


Gallantly will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well-trained soldier. My courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow.


Energetically will I meet the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is not a Ranger word. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country.


Readily will I display the intestinal fortitude required to fight on to the Ranger objective and complete the mission though I be the lone survivor.


RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!

After reading and saying the creed about a bazillion times I actually got the first word wrong the same way I used to when the RI's would make me recite the creed way back in sleepaway camp. Oh well, knockin' 'em out......again.
