Anchors Aweigh

Happy Armed Forces Day. My dad was in the navy so this is my rendition of this good ole navy song. Dad served in WWII and was stationed in Guam. My father passed away when I was a small kid, I never really got to know him so this is in honor and memory of him.

thanks for the post, I am serving the Navy right now as a Hospital Corpsman ...this clip sure made the Navy look fun and its probably where all the stereotypes of a sailor came from lol

I'm reaching out to any kind Naval Officer, member of the Naval Band, or knowledgeable musician: My grandfather attended the U.S. Navy School of Music in 1942, focus was alto saxophone. We know he played for Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands and FDR at the White House on Aug. 5, 1942. Played in England/Belgium in Navy until 1947. Very sadly died at 33 and it would mean the world to my grandmum and me to have any sort of recording where he may have been recorded. Thank you.

@shaolinwarrior87, of course we didn't get the gay stereotype until the Village People! Go figure, lol. I know one of my pal's from back home asked if I could sing and tap dance.

@csps123 If you have cable tv, turn to Turner Classics, or, TCM, and, in time, that's where they show them, and, without commercials, too..
