See, for me...as an atheist, I don't deal with not having an afterlife. I have one, it's real in ways that ghostly choirs are not...and it may not be a bed of roses. I have to work at it.
I have many,. many children. They're watching me, and they'll outlive my opinions of them or myself....when I'm dead and buried they'll be the ones telling people who I was. I want them to spin fantastic lies about me, to tell people I was greater than I could ever have truly been. I'm turning this little hill I found into a secret garden, I'm gonna be broke and broken before I'm done...but it'll be beautiful, and so are they.

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!
