I am an American, I was born in France.

I hold the title of

United States Marine,

and understand the commitment

of holding the title, Devil Dog.   It is a tradition born at

Belleau Wood, in the year 1918, of a force in readiness

and the "First to Fight."   As a Devil Dog, I ask no quarter, and give no quarter.   I will do everything in my power to uphold the objectives of the

Military Order of Devil Dogs

and to carry out my duties to a swift and satisfactory completion
