Ode to the U.S. Armed Forces

In ranks of valor, side by side,
We stand as one, with fierce pride.
From land to sea and skies above,
We’re bound by duty, honor, love.

In Marine blues, our spirits blend,
Leathernecks united, till the end.
Through every trial, our valor proves,
Semper Fi, in every move.

The Army’s courage, steadfast and true,
In green they fight, in skies of blue.
Their discipline, their will to lead,
A force unmatched in word and deed.

The Navy sails through ocean’s roar,
Their ships a symbol of strength and more.
In storm and calm, they chart the course,
A beacon bright, the Navy’s force.

The Air Force flies where eagles dare,
Their wings spread wide through boundless air.
Precision and power in every flight,
Guardians of the day and night.

The Coast Guard stands on the shore and sea,
Defenders of the home, brave and free.
In storms and peace, they guard our fate,
Rescue and protection, they navigate.

Each branch distinct, yet bound as one,
In every mission, under every sun.
From distant shores to skies so high,
We answer the call, we never shy.

So here’s to all who wear the crest,
In uniform, we give our best.
No matter where our duties call,
United we stand, proud and tall.

Semper Fidelis, always true,
In every branch, in red, white, and blue.
We honor those who’ve gone before,
In every battle, on every shore.
