You will be shunned unless your conduct is of the highest order, for your deeds will follow you down through history. We will bring shame on neither our uniforms nor our nation.

As for ourselves, let's bring everyone home safely and leave Iraq a better place for us having been there. Our business now is north. Good luck."
