And through all this welter //of change and development,//
your mission /remains fixed,//determined,/inviolable: /
it is to win our wars. //
Everything else /in your professional career /is but corollary /to this /vital /dedication. //
All other public purposes,//all other public projects,//all other public needs,/great or small,//
will find others /for their accomplishment. //
But you /are the ones /who are trained to fight. //
Yours /is the profession of arms,//the will to win,//the sure knowledge /that in war /there is no substitute for victory; //
that if you lose,//the nation will be destroyed; //
that the very obsession //of your public service /must be: Duty,/Honor,Country. /
