Armed Forces – The Pride of America



Armed Forces – The Pride of America!

(Introduction with Taps and drum roll off)

Spoken: The United States Army (“The Caisson Song”)

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

and the caissons go rolling along.

In and out, hear them shout, counter march and right about,

And the caissons go rolling along.

Then it’s Hi! Hi! Hee! In the field artillery.

Shout out your numbers loud an strong!

For where e’er you go, you will always know

That the caissons are rolling along.

Spoken: The United States Marines (“The Marine’s Hymn”)

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.

Spoken: The United States Navy (“Anchors Awiegh”)

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, drink to the foam.

Until we meet once more,

here’s wishing you a happy voyage home.

Spoken: The United States Coast Guard (“Semper Paratus”)

We’re always ready for the call, we place our trust in Thee.

Through surf and storm and howling gale,

High shall our purpose be.

“Semper Paratus” is our guide, our fame and glory, too.

To fight, to save, to fight and die! Aye!

Coast Guard we are for you!

Spoken: The United States 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 the dive, spouting your flame from under, off on one terrible course!

We live in fame or go down in flame.

Hey, nothing ‘il stop the U.S. Air Force.

Spoken: Please stand and recite the “Pledge of Allegiance.”

Recite:I pledge allegiance to Flag of United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Sing: O say can you see by the dawn’s early light,

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?

Who’s broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,

O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming.

And the rocket’s red glare, the bomb’s bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night, that our flag was still there.

Oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave,

O’er the land of the free, and the home of the brave?

America, America, my home!

America!
