"This Is My Rifle"
THIS IS MY RIFLE. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I master my life.
My rifle, without me is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle 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 rifle 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...
My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weakness, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights, and its barrel. I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage. I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will...
Before God I swear this creed. My rifle and myself are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until there is no enemy, but Peace!

Pequeña traducción de la parte principal
Éste es mi fusil. Hay otros muchos, pero éste es el mío. Mi fusil es mi mejor amigo y es mi vida. Tengo que dominarlo, igual que me domino a mí mismo. Sin mí, mi fusil no sirve, sin mi fusil, yo tampoco sirvo. Tengo que acertar con mi fusil, tengo que disparar a dar al enemigo que quiere matarme. Tengo que darle antes de que me de a mí. Lo haré, ésto que digo lo juro ante Dios. Mi fusil y yo somos los defensores de mi patria, dominamos a nuestros enemigos y salvamos nuestras propias vidas. Así sea hasta que en vez de enemigos haya paz. ¡AMÉN!
