Veteran's Day

Veteran's Day is quickly approaching! This year the choir will be singing the anthems for each military branch. Choir members, here are the words, so you can practice these songs at home:

Coast Guard: We're always ready for the call. We place our trust in Thee.
Through surf and storm and howling gail 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!
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 terrible roar!
We live in fame or go down in flame. Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!
Navy: Anchors aweigh, my boys! Anchors aweigh! Farewell to college joys,
We sail at break of day, ay, ay, ay!
Though our last night ashore, hail to the foam!
Until we meet once more here's wishing you a happy voyage home!
Marine Corps: From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli.
We fight our countries 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!
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 til the battles won, and the Army goes rolling along.
Then it's Hi! Hi! Hey! The Army's on it's way. Count off the cadence loud and strong!
For where e'er we go you will always know
That the Army goes rolling along!

I know the choir is going to do a great job at Veteran's day! They are prepared and sound fantastic.
