The National Anthem written by Francis Sctott Key
Complete version of "The Star-Spangled Banner" showing spelling and punctuation from Francis Scott Key's manuscript in the Maryland Historical Society collection.
O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watch'd were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bomb bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there,
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream,
'Tis the star-spangled banner - O long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore,
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a Country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash'd out their foul footstep's pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Between their lov'd home and the war's desolation!
Blest with vict'ry and peace may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the power that hath made and preserv'd us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto - "In God is our trust,"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
"The Star-Spangled Banner" is the national anthem of the United States. The lyrics come from the "Defence of Fort McHenry", a poem written by American lawyer Francis Scott Key on September 14, 1814, after he witnessed the bombardment of Fort McHenry by the British Royal Navy during the Battle of Baltimore in the War of 1812. Key was inspired by the large U.S. flag, with 15 stars and 15 stripes, known as the Star-Spangled Banner, flying triumphantly above the fort after the battle.
The poem was set to the tune of a popular British song written by John Stafford Smith for the Anacreontic Society, a social club in London. Smiths' song, "To Anacreon in Heaven" (or "The Anacreontic Song"), with various lyrics, was already popular in the United States. This setting, renamed "The Star-Spangled Banner", soon became a popular patriotic song. With a range of 19 semitones, it is known for being very difficult to sing, in part because the melody sung today is the soprano part. Although the poem has four stanzas, only the first is commonly sung today.
"The Star-Spangled Banner" was first recognized for official use by the United States Navy in 1889. On March 3, 1931, the U.S. Congress passed a joint resolution (46 Stat. 1508) making the song the official national anthem of the United States, which President Herbert Hoover signed into law. The resolution is now codified at 36 U.S.C. § 301. It has become controversial in the United States since the 1990s due to perceived racism in the anthem's lyrics and Key's involvement in slavery.
The Pledge of Allegiance by Red Skelton
Organized, mandatory school prayer was removed from U.S. public schools following the Supreme Court ruling in
Engel v. Vitale on June 25, 1962. The Court ruled that school-sponsored, recited prayer violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, which prohibits the government from establishing a religion.
Key details regarding this decision:
What was banned: Official, school-sponsored, or teacher-led prayer in public schools.
What is allowed: Voluntary, private, non-disruptive, student-initiated prayer is still permitted.
Subsequent rulings: In 1963, the Court also banned devotional Bible reading in public schools.
Context: The decision was met with immediate, widespread public controversy.
The 1962 ruling (Engel v. Vitale) explicitly applied to state-composed prayers, such as the one used in New York schools, rather than a total ban on all religious activity.
The result of these rulings has now led to atheist Marxists and blood-thirsty Muslims being elected to public offices throughout this nation, and the brainwashing of half of the population leading to widespread invasion, civil unrest and crime. Will God save this nation? Will Bible-believing Christians and Constitution supporting Patriots be able to save this Republic from the Socialist Democrats and their fellow traveler useful idiots, and from the Muslims? I doubt that Patriots can save this nation, and I expect either coming massacre's and/or civil war. Only God can intervene and prevent the fall of this great nation at this late date, in my opinion. Perhaps we are the end-time Babylon with that prophetic national role to fulfill. The roles of Artificial Intelligence, Powers and Principalities are becoming more apparent. How close is total disaster? What about Project 2030? So... Lock and Load, study the Word, and Pray!

As Christians we follow the teachings of the New Covenant, recognizing that we are to judge all things by the words in the Holy Bible, and the teachings of Jesus Christ, and Paul the Apostle to the Gentiles, but not hypocritically. We recognize that vengence is reserved to the Lord. Vengence is not a part of Self Defense, so Self Defense is permissable, both as a reaction to a threat and as a preemptive action to neutralize a threat. It's all about the preservation and safety described by the phrase "God, Family, and Country." Here we recognize warfare is sometimes a necessary part of being a Christian, of being a soldier for Jesus Christ, and for carrying out the Great Commission. We are to be Disciples, Witnesses, Reapers and Warriers!

Onward Christian Soldiers by Sanctuarium Metalli
Onward Christian Soldiers written by Sabine Baring-Gould
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before!
Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe;
Forward into battle, see his banner go!
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before!
At the sign of triumph Satan's host doth flee;
On, then, Christian soldiers, on to victory!
Hell's foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise!
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before!
Like a mighty army moves the church of God;
Brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod;
We are not divided; all one body we,
One in hope and doctrine, one in charity.
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before!
Onward, then, ye people, join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices in the triumph song;
Glory, laud, and honor, unto Christ the King;
This thro' countless ages men and angels sing.
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before!
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before!

Battle Hymn Of The Republic by Sanctuarium Metalli
The Battle Hymn of the Republic written by Julia Ward Howe
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord:
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:
His truth is marching on.
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps,
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps:
His day is marching on.
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel:
“As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal;
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,
Since God is marching on.”
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat:
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave,
He is Wisdom to the mighty, He is Succour to the brave,
So the world shall be His footstool, and the soul of Time His slave,
Our God is marching on.
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

The Warrier Song - Hard Corps
(by The Warrier Song Project,
on The Richard Johnston Youtube Channel)
The Warriers Song - Hard Corps written by Sean Householder
The eagle born to those who pledged their lives and sacred honor
Was smiled upon by God and freed from chains and iron collar
He is held aloft on unity and by history revered
For preserving peace through strength his wings now reach across two hundred years
But for each of those and one year more
God has smiled upon The Corps
From the Barbary Coast to the Eastern Sand
By sword, by gun, or by bare hand
So it's been, and shall be weighed
Though many are born, few are made
Faithful Always, they shall remain
Dogs to loose when war is waged
I am a Marine on the beach, I'm a killin' machine
With a need to bleed you when the light goes green
Best believe, I'm in a zone to be
From my Yin to my Yang to my Yang Tze
Put a grin on my chin, come to me, 'cause I'll win
I'm one-of-a-kind and I'll bring death to the place you're about to be
Another river of blood runnin' under my feet
Forged in a fire lit long ago, stand next to me, you'll never stand alone
I'm last to leave, but the first to go
Hard Corps is the only way I know
I feed on the fear of the devil inside of the enemy faces in my sights
Aim with the hand, shoot with the mind, kill with a heart like arctic ice
I am a Devil-Dog I'm marching on
I am a Devil-Dog I'm marching on
I am a warrior and this is my song
I am a warrior and this is my song
I bask in the glow of the rising war
Lay waste to the ground of an enemy shore
Wade through the blood spilled on the floor
And if another one stands I'll kill some more
Bullet in the breech and a fire in me
Like a cigarette thrown to gasoline
If death don't bring you fear then death ain't brought by no Marine
Come to the nightmare, come to me
Deep down in the dark where the devil be
In the maw with the jaws and the razor teeth
Where the brimstone burns and the angel weeps
Call to the gods if I cross your path
And my silhouette hangs like a body bag
Hope is a moment now long past
The shadow of death is the one I cast
I am a Devil-Dog I'm marching on
I am a warrior and this is my song
Hell has no demon I won't overcome
I am a warrior and this is my song
For more than 200 years our Corps has done two things for this great nation
We make marines and we win battles
Never forget that. You're first marines
And not all the communists in hell can overrun you
Now I live lean and I mean to inflict the grief
And the least of me's still out of your reach
The killing machine's gonna do the deed
Until the river runs dry and my last breath leaves
Chin in the air with a head held high
I'll stand in the path of the enemy line
Feel no fear, know my pride
For God and Country I'll end your life
I am a Devil-Dog, I'm marching on
I am a warrior and this is my song
Hell has no demon I won't overcome
I am a warrior and this is my song
I made the devil himself turn and run
I am a warrior and this is my song
Into the fire I will keep marching on
Oohrah Marine Corp Get Some

This Is My Rifle written by Charles Nusskem
Rifleman's Creed
by Major General William H. Rupertus of the United States Marine Corps
This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life.
My rifle, without me, is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will...
My rifle and myself know that what counts in this war are not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count.
We will hit...
My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel.
I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage. I will keep my rifle clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will...
Before God, I swear this creed. My rifle and myself are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy, but peace!

The Marines’ Hymn
Anthem of the United States Marine Corps (1942 Recording)
The Marines’ Hymn written by Jacques Offenbach
From the Halls of Montezuma
To the Shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on 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 ev'ry clime and place
Where we could take a gun;
In the snow 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.

Why do people remove their hats for God Bless America? Although the hat symbolism is different, the meaning of each is known to the communities involved, who have the task of explaining it to any outsiders in attendance. For the national anthem, removing the hat is a symbolic gesture of loyalty to the country, and for God Bless America it is a symbolic gesture of loyalty to the country and to God. I personally consider this to be an alternate National Anthem for the United States of America!
