I hope you sang my favorite song last night!

From the Halls of Montezuma
to the shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country’s battles
In the air, on the 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 Marine.
Our flag’s unfurled to every breeze
from dawn to setting sun;
We have fought in every clime and place
Where we could take a gun;
In the snows of far-off Northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes;
You will find us always on the job-
The UNITED STATES MARINES.
Here’s health to you and to our Corps
which we are proud to serve;
In many a strife we’ve fought for life
And never lost our nerve;
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven’s scenes,
They will find the streets are guarded
By UNITED STATES MARINES!

More than once.

Jim "Gomer Pyle" Neighbors was a surprise guest who ended the show with "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." He was well-received by the crowd.

Big moment of my evening: shaking hands with Col. Paige.
