We Honor You

ALL STUDENTS:

Day by day, there is a mighty way

On to defend and save honor and glory.

Land or air, oceans or anywhere,

Giving your life to share freedom’s story.

So now, we dedicate our days

Showing our thanks & praise for all you do

We stand, singing a noble song

To all the brave and strong, we honor you.

Sacrifice, done without thinking twice.

Willing to pay the price when it was needed.

Hear the words you have rightly earned:

“Welcome home” deserved. “Job completed.”

So now, we dedicate our days

Showing our thanks & praise for all you do

We stand, singing a noble song

To all the brave and strong, we honor you.

So now, we dedicate our days

Showing our thanks & praise for all you do

We stand, singing a noble song

To all the brave and strong, we honor you.

Duet 2:

We’ll be strong, working to right the wrongs.

this land is your land

ALL STUDENTS:

This land is your land, this land is my land

From California, to the New York Island

From the Redwood Forest,

to the Gulf Stream Waters

This land was made for you and me

Group 1:

As I was walking that ribbon of highway

I saw above me that endless skyway

I saw below me that golden valley

This land was made for you and me!

ALL STUDENTS:

This land is your land, this land is my land

From California, to the New York Island

From the Redwood Forest,

to the Gulf Stream Waters

This land was made for you and me

Group 2:

The sun was shining, and I was strolling

The wheat fields waving,

and the dust clouds rolling

And all around me a voice was sounding

This land was made for you and me!

ALL STUDENTS:

This land is your land, this land is my land

From California, to the New York Island

From the Redwood Forest,

to the Gulf Stream Waters

This land was made for you and me

ARMED FORCES LOW KEY 6 BRANCHES.mp3

1. ARMY

Over hill, over dale,

We will hit the dusty trail,

And those caissons go rolling along.

In and out, hear them shout, Counter marching all about,

And those caissons go rolling along.

For it’s Hi, Hi, Hee, in the field artillery!

Count out your numbers loud and strong! 2-3-4 HUT 2-3

And where e’er you go, You will always know,

That those caissons go rolling along.

2. NAVY

Anchors away, my boys,

Anchors away.

Farewell to college joys,

We sail at break of day (day, day, day).

Through our last night on shore,

Hail to the foam.

Until we meet once more,

Here’s wishing you a happy voyage home.

3. 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!

4. 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!”

“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!”

For nothing’ll stop the U.S. Air Force.

5. 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 we fight for right and freedom

And to keep our honor clean.

We are proud to claim the title

Of United States Marines.

6. SPACE FORCE

We're the mighty watchful eye,

Guardians beyond the blue.

The invisible front line,

Warfighters brave and true.

Boldly reaching into space,

There's no limit to our sky.

Standing guard both night and day,

We're the Space Force from on high!

In history I’ve learned about

So many countries where

They lost their right to freedom,

A blessing you and I all share.

I thank my lucky stars

To be living here today,

‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom,

And they can’t take that away.

And I’m proud to be an American

Where at least I know I’m free.

And it’s time to stand and say,
