Taps Day is done, gone from the sun,
From the lake, from the hills,
From the sky,
All is well, safety rest,
God is nigh.

Fading light, dims the sight;
And a star gems the sky.
Gleaming bright,
From afar, drawing nigh,
Fall the night.

Thanks and praise, for our days

the sun, 'neath the stars,
'Neath the sky,
As we go, this I know,
God is nigh.

Air Force
The Air Force Song
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 hell of a roar!*
We live in fame or go down in fame.
Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!

Minds of men fashioned a crate of thunder,
Sent it high into the blue,
Hands of men blasted the world asunder;
How they lived God only knew! (God only knew!)
Souls of men dreaming of skies to conquer
Gave us wings, ever to soar!
With scouts before and bombers galore.
Nothing'll stop the U. S. Air Force!

Coast Guard
Semper Paratus
From Aztec Shore to Arctic Zone. To Europe and Far East!
The Flag is carried by our ships in times of war and peace.
And never have we struck it yet, In spite of foemen's might,
Who cheered our crews and cheered again
For showing how to fight.

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!
