My church choir has an annual Freedom Celebration & we sing this medley as each branch of the military is recognized. Makes me cry every time! Thank you to all who have served & who are serving. GOD bless you and protect you & your family. GOD BLESS AMERICA!
This is the arrangement our choir sings today, and every Independence Sunday. I'm proud to be Retired Navy, and God bless those serving today in my place.
We are so fortunate in this country of ours that we can close our eyes at night and know all the young men and women who serve are doing such a fantastic job keeping us safe. Thank you and God bless all of you! And for my wife, GO NAVY!
As an Air Force brat, I am partial to the Air Force, but I am equally proud of the other services and may God bless all our men and women in service. Also, thank you to our veterans (thanks Dad!) and watch over our POW-MIAs and all the others who didn't make it back.
I had 14 family members who covered every branch of service but Coast Guard and Navy Seals. and I have all 14 casket flags. I'm the only one who couldn't serve due to health issues nervous system dying.
We are thankful and appreciate all the branches who serve us your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks great job great team work and great and sweet catches as usual still going strong great team efforts are deeply appreciated thanks please come home safely to the people who didn't come home my thoughts and prayers are with your family you may be gone but not forgotten still much love and respect and appreciation job well done you should be proud way to go very impressed proud to be American thanks !!! Joe
You should be proud your service is deeply appreciated thanks for everything take care best wishes to all the branches who serve us good looking uniforms thanks take care. Joe
I have a friend who served in the Army in the field artillery and resented that the Army unlike most services did not come up with a service song but adopted the field artillery song. Then they simply they changed a few words.
@missybethfl My church has done this arrangement, too and it's my favorite also! While the choir is singing each anthem, the men and women that have served or are serving in that branch of the armed forces comes forward and a lot of them are crying. It's very touching...
I also heard this arrangement at every Memorial Day and July 4 worship service on RU-vid from Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas and Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas.
Thank you to all who have served, are serving or will serve. I thank you for your service and my "freedom". My prayers to your families and loved ones. May God rest your blessed souls.
Thank you for creating this awesome video and sharing them with us. I come from a family of 'Army Strong' .. 442nd Infantry (War), 100th Battalion .. most highly decorated soldiers .. "Go for Broke"!!! God Bless you!
I always like listening to the Armed Forces Melody because I am part of the Civil Air Patrol Auxiliary of the Air Force and I get to stand every time I hear it at things like school Veterans day assemblies.
@gbuscg The chorus I learned in 1971 was: "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." Those are the original lyrics. I guess in the new kinder and gentler world they don't want Coasties singing about dying, but while you have to go out, you don't have to come back.
The Coast Guard under times of war goes with the navy, so im sorry but they deserve respect as well. Especially since they are the branch that protects the home front, if you haven't ever served you shouldn't be pointing any fingers at any branches. If you did, you're just ignorant.
Those aren't the official lyrics for "The Army goes Rolling Along" that was "The Caissons go rolling along" which is a field artillery song. The Army is so much more than artillery.
thank you all brave men and women risking your lives to protecting our country...i wish i could join in your ranks but i got disqualified do to me needing eye surgery T~T
Dear, Heavenly Father please give us hope in Jesus Christ and your goodness promises and glory! This land and every land is the Lord's! King of kings Lord of lords! I rebuke all evil wickedness off this Earth forevermore!!
@ArkanianMicroStudio true but it only represents the Arty(Field Artillery E.G. The King of Battle), think about it, how ridiculous would the Navy sone be if only the Naval Air Force was sung about?
After i pass college i want to give up my life for the United states and the branch i want to join is the United States Marine Corp become a Jar head and service the United states and fight for the person who cant fight for him self and protect the people around the world like Afghanistan and if i have to as a Marine i would defend the United States and give up my life for the United States and carry that on to DEA oorah
I have 10 family members who served in the military Jesse Youngdeer Civil War veteran Confederate Army Steven Youngdeer World War I US Army Robert and Henry Youngdeer World War Il USMC Jerry Wolfe World War ll US Navy Alva Brown Airborne veteran US Army John Taylor aka JT Desert Storm veteran US Marines James George US Army JROTC veteran
They sing the "Field Artillery". The music is the same; the lyrics were rewritten when the US Army adopted the song. 22 yr retired veteran of thenUS Army, so I kinda know the song. Google it if you don't believe me
There is a a Service ORDER that most people are not aware of. Army Navy Marines Air Force. Coast Guard is not part of Defence except in time of war. It should be placed between Navy Marines to be correct.
Luis V The USCG has fought along side their fellow branches various times and stand ready to do it again. They serve in war and peace, hell they had the Marines and the Navy (or any other branch) ask the USCG for help.
Luis V They are apart of that force and serve under the Navy during wartime, just because most of their peace time duties aren't fully military doesn't mean that they aren't a armed service. Anyways, have a good day.
