General Petraeus Addresses Soldiers At 3rd ID 90th Birthday

Posted By Blackfive

"We're making progress across Iraq.  You see it everyday.  You feel it everyday.  And you know it's true...'cause you're the one that's making the difference." - Major General Rick Lynch, Commanding General of the 3rd Infantry Division, addressing 281 Soldiers re-enlisting on the 3rd ID's 90th Birthday.

I grew up in the 82nd, but I became a leader in the 3d Infantry Division.  Happy Birthday, 3rd ID!  Rock of the Marne!!!

The Dog Face Soldier Song

[(Sing it, CJ!) Ohhhhh....]

I Wouldn't Give A Bean
To Be A Fancy Pants Marine
I'd Rather Be A
Dog Face Soldier Like I Am

I Wouldn't Trade My Old OD's
For All The Navy's Dungarees
For I'm The Walking Pride
Of Uncle Sam

On Army Posters That I Read
It Says "Be All That You Can"
So They're Tearing Me Down
To Build Me Over Again

I'm Just A Dog Face Soldier
With A Rifle On My Shoulder
And I Eat Raw Meat
For Breakfast E'V'RY Day

So Feed Me Ammunition
Keep Me In Third Division
Your Dog Face Soldier's A-Okay
