In the heart of the fray where the drums beat loud
Colonial soldiers in Army blue stood tall and proud
At Lexington and Concord they fought for independence
Defending liberty their duty they knew
"Duty Honor Country" the Army creed did say
Through the Revolution's fervent fray
From Valley Forge's trials to Yorktown's triumph bright
The Army fought for freedom with courage as their light
From Fort Sumter's cannonade to Gettysburg's grand stage
Brothers fought brothers torn by civil strife and rage
The Union stood for unity the South for states' rights
They faced their fears with bravery as their guide
From Fort Sumter's cannonade to Gettysburg's grand stage
Brothers fought brothers torn by civil strife and rage
The Union stood for unity the South for states' rights
They faced their fears with bravery as their guide
"No guts no glory" in World War I's trench
Nations clashed in Europe for empires to wrench
Overseas they fought in the Great War's gale
Army strong and true they never once did fail
"No guts no glory" in World War I's trench
Nations clashed in Europe for empires to wrench
Overseas they fought in the Great War's gale
Army strong and true they never once did fail
"Duty Honor Country" the Army creed did say
Through the Great War's dark dismay
From Belleau Wood's fierce stand to the Meuse-Argonne's call
The Army marched with valor they gave their all Gospel
From Normandy's beaches to the Pacific's tide
The Axis powers fell their dreams denied
D-Day's brave assault with Army hearts aflame
From Bastogne's defense to Iwo Jima's claim
"I have not yet begun to fight!" they cried
In Korea's harsh conflict where freedom was tried
Across the 38th parallel the Army's strength was seen
With resilience and honor they upheld the American dream
"Duty Honor Country" the Army creed did say
Through Korea's trials day by day
From Inchon's daring move to the harsh Chosin Reservoir
The Army pressed onward they bore the battle scar
From Vietnam's jungles to Desert Storm's might
Nations' conflicts played out in the Cold War's sight
Through Afghanistan's mountains to Iraq's desert plain
The Army marches onward through sunshine or rain
"Duty Honor Country" the Army's creed will ring
Through the centuries their legacy they bring
For each soldier's story in history's grand parade
The Army's strength and spirit in every step they made
