The National Memorial Day Concert 2025
"The Armed Forces Medley" Performed by The National Symphony Orchestra Conducted by Maestro Jack Everly

Aired by: PBS (Not my own video, I just like the song.)

Here are the lyrics of "The Armed Forces Medley"

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, our glory, too.
To fight to save or fight and die, Aye! Coast Guard we are for you!

United States Space Force — "Semper Supra"
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.

United States Air Force — "The Wild Blue Yonder"
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 'em the gun!")
Down we dive, spouting our flame from under,
Off with one helluva roar!
We live in fame or go down in flame.
Hey! Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!

United States Navy — "Anchors Aweigh"
Anchors Aweigh, my boys, Anchors Aweigh.
Farewell to foreign shores, we sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay.
Through our last night ashore, drink to the foam,
Until we meet once more, here's wishing you a happy voyage home.

United States Marine Corps — "The Marines' Hymn"
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.

United States Army — "The Army Goes Rolling Along"
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 battle's 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'er we go, you will always know
That the Army goes rolling along.
Rolling along!
