United States Navy
Mission: to maintain, train and equip
combat-ready Naval forces capable of
winning wars, deterring aggression and
maintaining freedom of the seas.
Birthday: October 13, 1775
The flag of the United States Navy consists of the Seal
of the Department of the Navy in the center, above a
yellow scroll inscribed "United States Navy" in dark
blue letters, against a dark blue background.
The flag was officially adopted by President Dwight D.
Eisenhower on April 24, 1959. It is used on land in
offices, in parades and for ceremonial occasions, and
often on a staff at the quarterdeck of ships in port. It is
never flown by ships at sea, nor on outdoor flagpoles
on naval land installations, and is not used as an
identifying mark of U.S. Navy ships and facilities, as is
the U.S. Coast Guard ensign.

gold fringe while the outdoor version is plain. It
measures 55 inches on the hoist and 62 inches

Marine Corps 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.
Our flag's unfurled to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun.
We have fought in ev'ry clime and place
Where we could take a gun;
In the snow of far-off Northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes;
You will find us always on the job—
The United States Marines.
Here's health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve.
In many a strife we've fought for life
And never lost our nerve;
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven's scenes;
They will find the streets are guarded By
United States Marines.

created with the appointment of General George
Washington as CINC.
Army Song
March along, sing our song, with the Army of the free
Count the brave, count the true, who have fought to victory
We’re the Army and proud of our name
We’re the Army and proudly proclaim
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 (TWO! THREE!)
For where e’er we go, you will always know
That The Army Goes Rolling Along.
Valley Forge, Custer’s ranks,
San Juan Hill and Patton’s tanks,
And the Army went rolling along
Minute men, from the start,
Always fighting from the heart,
And the Army keeps rolling along.
Then it’s Hi! Hi! Hey!
The Army’s on its way.
Count off the cadence loud and strong (TWO! THREE!)
For where e’er we go, You will always know
That The Army Goes Rolling Along.
Men in rags, men who froze,
Still that Army met its foes,
And the Army went rolling along.
Faith in God, then we’re right,
And we’ll fight with all our might,
As the Army keeps rolling along.
Then it’s Hi! Hi! Hey!
The Army’s on its way.
Count off the cadence loud and strong (TWO! THREE!)
For where e’er we go. You will always know
That The Army Goes Rolling Along.

Air Force Song
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 now!)
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!
(Additional verses:)
Minds of men fashioned a crate of thunder,
Sent it high into the blue;
Hands of men blasted the world asunder;
How they lived god only knew!
Souls of men dreaming of skies to conquer
Gave us wings, ever to soar!
With scouts before and bombers galore, hey!
Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!
Here's a toast to the host
Of those who love the vastness of the sky,
To a friend we will send a message of his brothermen who
fly
We drink to those who gave their all of old,
Then down we roar to score the rainbow's pot of gold
A toast to the host of men we boast, the U.S. Air Force!
(to top)
Off we go into the wild sky yonder,
Keep the wings level and true.
If you'd live to be a grey-haired wonder
Keep the nose out of the blue!
Flying men guarding the nation's border,
We'll be there, followed by more!
In echelon we carry on, hey!
Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!
