Army question...

What is the motto of the US Army?

I thought of a couple...

Army of one

Be all that you can be

This we'll defend

Then I came across this...
"This we'll Defend" is the motto of the Drill Sergeants of the US Army, as is seen on the Drill Sergeant Badge. The correct motto of the United States Army is:
"Called to Duty, Boots on the Ground"
Anyone have any more?

The U. S. Army Drill Sergeant Qualification Badge:

Awarded on successful completion of any U. S. Army Drill Sergeant school - I graduated in 1991 from the 91st Division D S School, Camp Parks, CA.
...The correct motto of the United States Army is:
"Called to Duty, Boots on the Ground"
This may be new, since I got out. As far as I know, when I was in the entire army did not have an official motto - most major and minor commands have their own mottos -
"Follow Me!" The Infantry School
"King of Battle" The Artillery School
"Powder River" 91st Division
"All the way" 82nd Airborne
"Tropic Lightning" 25th Infantry Division
"Masters of the Night" 7th Infantry Division
"First Team" and "Garry Owen" 1st Cavalry Division (Garry Owen is an Irish drinking song that Custer adopted as the 7th Cavalry Regiment's official song. 7th Cav is now a part of the 1st Cav Div)

And so on

I never even tried, but I know I'll get the boot. They don't make clothing in kids sizes.
