"The army is rolling forward" is the official song of the American army, which is often called "military song". This song was composed by the field artillery lieutenants (later promoted to brigadier general) Edmund L.Gruber and Robert Danford (later promoted to major general) when they were stationed in Camp Stosburg, Philippines in March 1908. This song quickly became popular in artillery units. 19 17, john philip sousa (a famous American music conductor who has written many famous songs) was asked by the secretary of the navy and captain of the 306th artillery regiment to compose a March with this song called Song of Magazine. According to this song, Susa wrote the March of Field Artillery. This piece of music sold 75 copies. Nevertheless, this song was not selected as a US Army song, because it was too inclined to American artillery.

Looking for standard military songs

When the US Marine Corps, Air Force and Coast Guard all have their own official songs, the Army is eager to have their own. 1948, the army launched a military song contest, but none of the songs won wide support. 1952, Minister of the Army Frank Pace asked the music industry to provide military songs, and the other party provided 800 lyrics. Among them, Sam Sticott's Where is the Army Headquarters won wide support. 1953 1 On October 20th, a military band played this song at the inauguration ceremony of President Eisenhower. However, because the tune of this song is similar to "I have a bunch of lovely coconuts" (a popular game song in the 1940s), the army decided to keep the tune of "Song of the Ammunition Box". So I chose the lyrics of Harold W. Ahlberg, the music assistant of the Chief of Staff. Wilbur Ma Wally Blackwell, the Secretary of the Army, announced this song at 1956 Veterans' Day. This song will be played at the main ceremony of the army, and all officers and men of the army are required to sing this song. When more than one military song is played, it is in the order of Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard.

Original lyrics of "Song of the Cannonball Box"

Over hills and valleys, we set foot on dusty paths.

When our ammunition box rolls. (Our ammunition box sweeps)

Up and down, in and out, (up and down, inside and out)

Step back, turn right, (turn back to the original position)

Because this is hi-hi-hi-hi.

In the Fifth Artillery Corps (in the 15th Artillery Corps)

Shout out this number loudly and forcefully.

Until our last ride, (until our last attack)

This will always be our pride (this will always be our honor)

Let these ammunition boxes move on.

(keep them rolling-keep them rolling) (let them go-let them go)

Let these ammunition boxes move on.

(B-a-t-t-e-r-y H-a-l-t！ Artillery!-Stop! )

Marine corps: marine corps hymn

"Marine Corps Hymn" is the standard military song of the United States Marine Corps and the oldest military song among the five major services in the United States. The lyrics of this song must be19th century, but the author is unknown. The music comes from a French opera premiered in 1859. The US Marine Corps obtained the copyright of this song in August 19 19, but now this song belongs to the public.

The first sentence of the lyrics "From the lobby of Montezuma to the coast of Tripoli" shows the Battle of Tepeck in chapple and the First Barbary War in the US-Mexico War respectively. When singing this song, you usually stand at attention to show respect/.

Main idea of lyrics:

The first paragraph:

From the lobby of Montezuma (from the lobby of Montezuma)

To the coast of Tripoli, (to the coast of Tripoli)

We fight for our country.

In the air, on land, at sea. (in the air, land and sea)

Fight for rights and freedom first (fight for justice and freedom first)

Keep our honor, (and keep our clean reputation)

We are proud to get this title.

United States Marine Corps. (United States Marine Corps)

The second paragraph:

Our flag flutters in the wind.

From dawn to sunset; (From sunrise to sunset)

We have difficulties in any climate and place.

We can bring a gun. (As long as we take up arms)

In the snow in the distant northern land (from the cold northern islands)

In a sunny tropical scene (to sunny tropical scenery)

You will find that we are always working.

United States Marine Corps. (United States Marine Corps)

The third paragraph:

Here's to the health of you and our team.

We are proud to serve this; (Our Honorary Customer)

In many strikes, we have a hard life.

We never lose heart. (but never crazy about it)

If the army and navy (if the army and navy)

I have seen the scene of heaven, (I have seen the scene of heaven)

They will find the streets guarded (they will find the streets of heaven)

By the United States Marine Corps. (guarding the marine corps)

Rare lyrics:

Because the Marine Corps has fought in different places, in many cases, some special lyrics will be added, such as:

In 194 1 year, we sailed north.

194 1 year, we sailed north again.

Vikings and Norwegians were discovered in the midnight sun.

(To pursue the midnight sun, vikings and northerners)

Girls in Iceland are slim, fair and beautiful.

All the girls in Iceland are slim and beautiful, and the scenery in Iceland is also beautiful.

The army found the US Marines landing there.

The army will find a marine landing there.

1890- 19 19, the original first paragraph appeared in the film "Montezuma Temple":

From the halls of Montezuma to the coast of Tripoli (from the halls of Montezuma to the coast of Tripoli).

We fight for our country, on the land by the sea.

The admiration of the country, we are the best; We are the pride of our motherland, and we are the strongest legion.

We are proud of the title of the United States Marine Corps.

American Air Force Military Song: "American Air Force"

The United States Air Force is the standard military song of the United States Air Force, sometimes called Let's Go Up, Let's Fly to the Blue Distance or Blue Distance.

This song was originally "Song of Army Air Force", and the lyrics and songs were written by US Army Captain robert crawford at 1939. 1937, Arnold, deputy commander of the Army Air Force, suggested to his boss Oscar Westowen that his subordinates needed a song to praise their troops and proposed to hold a prize-winning competition. But because the army aviation does not have its own finance (how is it possible? ), a prize of 1000 dollars was awarded by Freedom magazine. 757 songs were selected, and none of them satisfied the Committee. 1938 Arnold took over from Western European who died in an air crash as commander of the air force, but even the lyrics of the famous lyricist Evan Berlin could not satisfy him. Just before the end of the competition, Crawford's lyrics took part in the competition and won the grand prize. Although Arnold liked this song very much and wanted to promote it to the public, the Air Force lacked funds to form its own band. With the consent of the government, Crawford sold the copyright to new york music publisher Fisher Company. Therefore, unlike other services, the US Air Force does not have its own military songs.

Main idea of lyrics:

All the lyrics are as follows:

The first section:

Let's fly to the blue distance, (let's fly to the blue distance)

Climb high to the sun; (Fly high into the sky, towards the sun)

They rushed to meet our thunder, (the enemy flew to avoid our lightning)

Guys, give her the gun! Aim at them, boys, and show them some color! )

We dive and splash our flames from below.

Roared away! * (leaving a hellish roar)

We live in fame, or we are destroyed in flames. Hey! (We live in flames, or we die in flames)

Nothing can stop the US Air Force! No one can stop the United States Air Force! )

The second paragraph:

The human mind creates a box of lightning, (the human brain creates a box full of lightning)

Send it to the blue sky; (Let it fly high into the sky)

Human hands blow the world to pieces; (Human hands create the thunder of destruction)

Only God knows how they live! Only God knows how they live! )

The human soul dreams of the skill of conquering the sky.

Gave us wings to fly! Give us wings and fly high! )

There used to be scouts and bombers. Hey! (Aerial reconnaissance, bombers whistling, hi! )

Nothing can stop the US Air Force! No one can stop the United States Air Force! )

The third paragraph:

Let's fly to the distant sky, (let's fly to the blue distance)

Keep the wings level and true; (Let our wings be flat and real)

If you want to be a miracle with white hair (if you want to be a handsome guy with white hair)

Keep your nose away from blue! Then turn to the blue sky! )

Flying man, defending the national border, (air force defending the national border)

We'll be there, and there will be more! We will arrive soon, and more people will come.

We move on in the echelon. Hey! (In our echelon, hi! )

Nothing can stop the US Air Force! Nothing can stop the US Air Force! )
