I still like "Be all that you can be", COL Mikel J. Burroughs. "Army Strong" is still good. "Army of One" was kind of stupid. Maybe I just never knew exactly what that meant.
"If you aren't Infantry you're a POG!" Maybe?! Or not! Hahaha

PO3 Bob McCord - maybe so but maybe that is their problem they have not really experienced real fear.

Is “This We’ll Defend!” too outdated these days? It’s still on the Army seal. It can be a flexible expression as well. Merely define “This” to mean Democracy, Country, family, unit, or fighting hole.

SSgt James Nelson - Except for the inconvenient fact that the Army has been in existence longer. (and WE have pretty blue uniforms, too).

U.S. Army – “This We’ll Defend.”
The Continental Army was established in 1775, a full year before the nation exerted its independence from Great Britain, and their goal was not to fight for sovereignty, but to defend liberty. The phrase “This We’ll Defend,” traces back to the founding of the ‘War Office’, founded August 7, 1789.
U.S. Marine Corps – “Semper Fidelis”
Often shortened to “Semper Fi,” the Marine motto is highly recognized, even amongst civilians and foreigners, as belonging to the Corps. The Latin phrase, which means, "always faithful," dates back to the 14th century, and was used as a motto for many early English towns. The Marines adopted it as their motto in 1883, after dropping three previous mottos.
SSgt James Nelson, this entire comment (SPC Herb Jorgensen you do realize that we have used that slogan since 11 July 1798 and have had no need to change it) is simply not consistent with actual history! :)
