The fire and the ice closing hands, or Ask and Embla btw Rev? Both good creation narratives. Ask and Embla is a mix of discovery and creation, in the truest sense, as the brothers made us from trees which they came across on a walk. At least the Edda acknowledges that it would take more than one mind to create something quite as complex as a human being, if we were created by a mind at all. It's amusing though, that there is a religious narrative that essentially states "we come from the trees"... Well, you clever bastards...how did you figure that out...lol?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
