| I am an Airborne trooper! A paratrooper! I jump by parachute from any place in flight. I volunteered to do it knowing well the hazards of my choice. I am an elite trooper, a sky trooper, a shock trooper, an elite trooper. I blaze the way to far-flung goals-behind, before, above the foe's front line. I never find a fellow trooper I cherish as a sacred trust the lives of the men with whom I serve. Leaders have my fullest loyalty, and those I lead never find me lacking. I have pride in the Airborne. I never let it down. In peace I do not shirk the dullest duty nor protest the toughest training. In battle I fear no foe's ability nor under-estimate his prowess, power and guile. I fight him with all my might and skill-ever alert to evade capture or escape a trap. I never surrender though I may be the last. I belong to a proud and glorious team...... the Airborne, the Army, my country. I am a trooper of the sky! I am my Nation's best. In peace and war I never fail. Anywhere, anytime, in anything...... I am Airborne! |
