I’m sure I won’t. I can’t place a Coast Guard Anthem, although I know Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines.

Project for later ... right now I need to load up some Offspring. Elen has a doctor appointment (general checkup).

“Semper Peratus is our guide...”
It loses something in print...

From North and South and East and West,
The Coast Guard’s in the fight.
Destroying subs and landing troops,
The Axis feels our might.
For we’re the first invaders,
On every fighting field.
Afloat, ashore, on men and Spars,
You’ll find the Coast Guard shield.

Chorus

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, our motto, too.
We’re “Always Ready,” do or die!
Aye! Coast Guard, we fight for you.
