Yes, I also LOVE marches. When I was very young, my dad had a huge hi-fi speaker and a circus marches LP, and I would go to sleep on the floor behind the couch, just listening to it. When he passed, my siblings made sure I got the circus marches LP.

“Have to do this...I recall listening on my car radio to Bill Clinton’s second Inaugural, and the military band struck up John Phillip Susa’s Liberty March.”

Liberty March was by:

Thanks for posting. Way back when I was in 5th or 6th grade (1961 or 1962 or so), our music teacher had us learn the official songs of all the armed forces branches as well as When Johnny Comes Marching Home, The Battle Hymn of the Republic, Dixie, The Yellow Rose of Texas, Yankee Doodle and others. I still remember many of the tunes and lyrics.

That was a great era before the leftists grabbed hold of all our institutions and ruined them.

Below is a link to a video of "Marching Through Georgia" with Japanese lyrics. What is amazing about the video is that it shows scenes of Tokyo around 1936. With its wide streets and Western-style architecture, it looks like a modern American city such as Los Angeles. By the middle of the next decade, virtually all of the buildings in the video would be gone thanks to a civil engineering project led by a guy named Curtis Le May. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn4AW8wgjoA
