Included below are a set of resolutions that are a fit for any Man, especially a Real Soldier. Anyhow "Thems my sentiment exactly."
I WILL BE TRUE FOR THERE ARE THOSE WHO TRUST ME
I WILL BE PURE FOR THERE ARE THOSE WHO CARE
I WILL BE STRONG FOR THERE IS MUCH TO SUFFER
I WILL BE BRAVE FOR THERE IS MUCH TO DARE
I WILL BE FRIEND TO ALL THE POOR AND FRIENDLESS
I WILL BE GIVER AND FORGET THE GET
I WILL BE HUMBLE FOR I KNOW MY WEARINESS
I WILL LOOK UP AND LOVE AND LOOK AND LIFT.
