Does anyone know where I can find the full text of "This is my rifle..."? I'd like to put it up on my reloading room wall.

THe creed of a United States Marine
by
Maj. Gen. W.H. Rupertus, U.S.M.C.
This is my rifle.
there are many like it, but this one is mine.
My rifle is my best friend. It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life.
My rifle without me is useless.
Without my rifle, I am useless.
I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me.
I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will...
My rifle and myself know what counts in this war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, or the smoke we make.
We know it is the hits that count. We will hit...
My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn it's weaknesses, it's strengths, it's parts, it's accessories, it's sights, and it's barrel.
I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage. I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will..
Before God, I swear this creed. My rifle and myself are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We our the saviors of my life.
So be it, until victory is America's and ther is no enemy, but Peace!
