THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER

AMERICA, AMERICA

America, America, shall we tell you how we feel?

You have given us your beauty,

We sing to you!

America, America, land of hope and liberty!

Freedom rings from ev’ry mountain,

From sea to sea!

ARMED FORCES MEDLEY

HAIL TO THE ARMY!(spoken after 10 beats)

Over hill, over dale, we will hit the dusty trail

As those caissons go rolling along.

In and out, hear them shout, countermarching all about

As those caissons go rolling along

For it’s hie, hie, hee, in the field artillery

Shout out your number loud and strong, TWO, THREE

FOR where e’er we go, you will always know

As those caissons go rolling along (KEEP ‘EM ROLLING)

As those caissons go rolling along.

1234, 2234, 32 HAIL TO THE NAVY!

Anchors aweigh, my boys, anchors away

Farewell to college joys, we sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay.

Through our last night on shore, hail to the foam,

Until we meet once more, here’s wishing you a happy voyage home.

1234, 2234, 32 HAIL TO THE 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 to fight for right and freedom, and to keep our honor clean.

We are proud to claim the title of United States Marines.

1234, 2234, 32 HAIL TO THE 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, Get ‘em to run! (Get ‘em to run, NOW!)

Down we dive, spouting our flame from under.

Off with one terrible roar.

We live in fame or go down in flame, HEY!

Nothing’ll stop the U. S. Air Force!

1234, 2234, 3234, 4234, 52 HAIL TO THE COAST GUARD!

We’re always ready for the call, We place our trust in thee

Through howling gale and shot and shell, to win our 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!

--ARMY, -- NAVY, --MARINES, --AIR FORCE, --COAST GUARD

(1234, 223) Defenders of, our liberty!

WE REMEMBER

There was a day when freedom’s light seemed very far away.

There was a day that looked like night;

we dreamed of yesterday.

But even when the day is dark and rainbows hard to see,

Heroes walk among us and people still live free, we still live free

We remember ------the day we all stood strong.

We remember ------when we were one in song.

We remember ------remember

There was a day when Americans chose to take a stand.

There was a day when the best of friends offered us their hand.

The world can still be beautiful but even when it’s gray,

The sun will shine upon us and warm our tears away. And so we say…

We remember------the day we all stood strong.

We remember ------when we were one in song.

We remember ------remember------remember.

THE SPIRIT OF AMERICA

This great country, this great land, all together now we stand.

Proud and strong, straight and tall; American, one and all!

Ev’ry dreamer ‘neath the sun, shares one hope for ev’ryone.

All live free, great and small; Americans, one and all!

The spirit of America! The spirit of America!

The spirit of America! Is alive in me!

The spirit of America! The spirit of America!

The spirit of America! AMERICA…..Is alive in me!
