Tribute to the Armed Forces

ARMY
First to fight for the right
And to build the Nation’s might
And the Army goes rolling along.
Proud of all we have done,
Fighting till the battle’s won
And the Army goes rolling along
Then it’s hi! hi! hey! The Army’s on its way
Count off the cadence loud and strong
Two, three, four, hut, two, three
For where’re we go, you will always know
That the Army goes rolling along
MARINES
From the halls of Montezuma
to the shores of Tripoli,
We will fight our country’s battles
in the air, on land and sea.
First, we fight for right and freedom
and to keep our honor clean
We are proud to claim the title
of United States Marines
COAST GUARD
We’re always ready for the call,
We place our trust in Thee!
Through howling gale
and shot and shell
to win the victory!
Semper paratus is our guide
Our pledge, our motto, too!
We’re always ready, do or die. Aye!
Coast Guard, we fight for you!
NAVY
Anchors aweigh, my boys!
Anchors aweigh!
Farewell to college joys.
We sail at break of day, day, day, day.
Through our last night on shore
Hail to the foam!
Until we meet once more,
Here’s wishing you a happy voyage home!
AIR FORCE
Off we go into the wild blue yonder
Climbing high into the sun.
Here they come, zooming
to meet our thunder;
at ‘em boys give her the gun!
Down we dive,
Spouting our flame from under,
Off with one terrible roar.
We live in fame or go down in flame,
For nothing can stop the U.S. Air Force!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee.
Oh beautiful for heroes proved
in liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God they gold refine
Till all success be nobleness,
And ev’ry gain divine!
