Armed Forces Medley

A slide show I made in honor of the countless valiant men and women who have put their lives in harm's way for the sake of our own safety, freedom and rights throughout the history of this Great Nation.
And to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, nothing I can do can thank you enough for what you have given. I hope that dedicating my own life to the service of my fellow citizens can do enough justice.

Armed Forces Medley
Performed by the U.S. Army Field Band and Soldier's Chorus.

(Navy)
Anchor's aweigh, my boys, anchor's aweigh,
Farewell to college joys, we sail at break of day
Through our last night on shore,
Drink 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 'er the gun!
Down we dive, spouting our flame from under,
Off with one helluva roar!
We live in fame or die in flame
Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force

(Marines)
From the Halls of Montezuma
To the shores of Tripoli,
We 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 Marine.

(Coast Guard)
So here's the Coast Guard marching song,
We sing on land or sea.
Through surf and storm and howling gale,
High shall our purpose be.
"Semper Paratus" is our guide,
Our fame, our glory too.
To fight to save or fight to die,
Aye! Coast Guard, we are for you!

(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 battles 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
For where e'er we go,
You will always know
That The Army Goes Rolling Along.

@the1unknown9 The helo is a Sikorsky H-19 Chickasaw. You may know it by its civilian designation, the S-55. The Marines flew a similar but basically improved version of this, the H-34 in Vietnam right up to 1969. I flew an S-55 for awhile in civilian life up in the Arctic..kind of underpowered but a nice old machine to fly.

My father became permanently crippled on September 11th, 2001. (North Tower)

Last year I showed up at his rehab center in my USAF combat fatigues. He was playing poker with his buddies there. I had never seen him so proud in my entire life.
