words to Armed Forces Salute

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 our glory, too.

To fight, to save, or fight and die!

Aye! Coast Guard, we are for you.

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 terrible roar!

We live in fame or go down in flame

Hey! Nothing can stop the US Air Force!

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

Anchors aweigh. Until we meet once more

Here’s wishing you a happy voyage home.

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

First to fight, and to build the nations might

And the army goes rolling along

Proud of all we have done, Fighting till the battles won

And the army goes rolling along.

For its Hi! Hi! Hay! The army’s on its way,

Call off the cadence loud and strong (2,3,4)

For where ‘ere we go, you will always know,

That the army goes rolling along
