Armed Forces Medley: 2018 National Memorial Day Concert

2018 Memorial Day Concert

[magentuspriest]

Everyone look closely at 3:16 and 3:17.

A wife is holding her husband armyman up so he can stand during his song, and his shirt says "No legs, no vision, no problem."

If he isn't the definition of a hero, then there's no such thing as one.

[cobrakai]

Here are the lyrics for each song for those who are interested:

Coast Guard:
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.

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 helluva roar!
We live in fame or go down in flame. Hey!
Nothing can stop the U.S. Air Force!

Navy:
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!

Marines:
From the halls of Montezuma
To the shores of Tripoli.
We fight our country’s battles
In 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 tittle
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 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 e’er we go,
You will always know,
That the Army goes rolling along.

I currently reside in Canada, but my family is full of US Military Veterans. Nothing can stop our glorious nation of the United States of America.

[skytreker]

I feel so patriotic and I'm not even American. Great memorial day celebration!

[tracyzillmer]

I am a soldier who served and would do it all over again for America and all Americans because I love my country. God bless all who have served and who are still serving. We thank you

[Fultonfalcons]

My younger brother was a SGT. in the Marines and I always make a point to thank him for that service every chance I get

[derekc.nordbye]

Each and, every day for me, is a "Memorial Day." For, I recall how my friends selflessly, shamelessly "charged once more into the breach" and, gave of themselves so that I may grow old, fat and, weary. They, these "few, these happy few", will remain forever in their youth. I see their faces both, in my dreams and, at times, when I am awake. But, on days such as this past Memorial Day, is when "it truly hits home!!" But, as time inevitably marches ever forward, I learn to "let go", more and, more. This, I do for my own sanity's sake. Until next we meet, dear friends!! Well done, all of you. Rest with God.

Proud US Army veteran, and son and nephew of Army veterans. My wife was a Navy sailor and mother-in-law was a Navy WAVE in WWII. I always look forward to watching the Memorial Day Concert on TV, I lived in the Washington, DC area for over 20 years and trying to get in and out of the Capitol on Memorial Day is chaotic, so I always watched the concert on TV and I still enjoy watching it. I just wished Eric Kunzel was still alive

[andreamichaud]

I am SO proud to be American! thank you all for your service - we are forever in your debt.

[artmcpharlin]

God Bless our country and every military personnel.

[Rettungssani]

Greetings from the Austrian Army! Salute to the 5 Armed Forces!

[lazyight]

I am from Korea and I sincerely envy the culture of having utmost respect on soldiers. Our boys are treated as no more than a guard dog.

[docendoscopy]

Songs are very patriotic, inspiring and touching. I always appreciate your sacrifice to protect our country's freedom from about 70 years ago to right now. Without your help we wouldn't be what we are today. I hope friendship betwwen ROK and USA will last foever. Thank you all Americans who sacrificed themselves to protect freedom of the world.

[airlinecentral]

Proud to be in the US Air Force, and proud to be an American! 146th Airlift Wing, Channel Islands ANG. Fly high!

[lesleyhuxtable]

I am in total awe and have the greatest respect for our armed forces. What breaks my heart is when so many vets who make it home alive, are not really well taken care of by our great country. Homeless, sleeping on the streets, hungry and exposed to the elements.


Just the other day I was reading about all the amenities available for animals who abandoned, abused or such. Seems to me they get more attention than our heroes. I am an animal lover, but I love our heroes more.

[검정색-mz]

Thank you for saving our country
in 1950
Thank you Us and other country that helped south Korea.

[rossgeorge]

I'm from Britain but have friends in the US armed forces so when I hear this I give the salute as a sign of respect to not just them but all who serve the United States.

[marlacarr]

As a Navy daughter and a Navy Mom and granddaughter of the Army Air Corps WWII) so proud of my family to keep our nation free, God bless you all.
