The Armed Forces Medley, also known as the Armed Forces Salute is a collection of the official marchpasts/songs of the 5 services of the United States Armed Forces: Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force, and Marine Corps. Excluding of course the Space Force.
The Medley was first performed in public during the first National Memorial Day Concert in 1990 on the west lawn of the United States Capitol Building in the national capital, Washington, D.C., aired by the PBS network and played for the first time by the National Symphony Orchestra, backed by a civil chorus and military choirs from the United States Armed Forces. Since then the Medley has become a common fixture in many bands and orchestra concerts within the United States as a way to honor the active servicemen and women, reservists, and veterans of the Armed Forces and the National Guard Bureau. The Medley was also performed at the 2019 Salute to America event, an Independence Day event at the National Mall.
Lyrics (English):
Over hill, over dale, we will hit the dusty trail, And thosee 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!
For where e’ere you go, you will always know, That those caissons are rolling along.
Anchors aweigh, my boys, anchors aweigh.
Farewell to college joys, we sail at break of day (ay, ay, ay).
Through our last night on shore, hail to the foam.
Until we meet once more, here’s wishing you a happy voyage home.
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 and motto too.
We're always ready, Do or Die.
Aye! Coast Guard we are for you!
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. For nothing can stop the U.S. Air Force!
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 to fight for right and freedom and to keep our honor clean.
We are proud to claim the title of United States Marines.
