Duty, Honor, Country... Well Done

Special Forces CT Operations Specialist
Jeff Bielgred
I Served with Jeff through boot, SF Boot, and stood together in the field. It was the greatest honor I ever had to serve with someone like Jeff. When our 8 month deployment ended I left for FID/ID Operations within the government and we among D Squad parted ways until our next deployment. When I heard of his death my heart dropped. I will miss my squad bro who bled with me and our squad on the field. Tears fill my eyes when I remember him, I write this page so all of you, can remember my fallen squad brother and his memory will live forever within our hearts. The Sacrifice of his soul and that of many of the Special Forces brings you peace, please, remember that always.
Go with God Brother. I will never forget you.
Special Forces Creed
I am an American Special Forces soldier.
A professional!
I will do all that my nation requires of me.
I am a volunteer, knowing well the hazards of my profession.
I serve with the memory of those who have gone before me: Roger's Rangers, Francis Marion, Mosby's Rangers, the first Special Service Forces and Ranger Battalions of World War II, the Airborne Ranger Companies of Korea. I pledge to uphold the honor and integrity of all I am - in all I do.
I am a professional soldier. I will teach and fight wherever my nation requires. I will strive always, to excel in every art and artifice of war.
I know that I will be called upon to perform tasks in isolation, far from familiar faces and voices, with the help and guidance of my God.
I will keep my mind and body clean, alert and strong, for this is my debt to those who depend upon me.
I will not fail those with whom I serve. I will not bring shame upon myself or the forces.
I will maintain myself, my arms, and my equipment in an immaculate state as befits a Special Forces soldier.
I will never surrender though I be the last. If I am taken, I pray that I may have the strength to spit upon my enemy.
My goal is to succeed in any mission - and live to succeed again.
I am a member of my nation's chosen soldiery. God grant that I may not be found wanting, that I will not fail this sacred trust.
