FOR THE FALLEN (Fourth Stanza)

by Robert Laurence Binyon

They shall not grow old,

as we that are left to grow old;

Age shall not weary them,

nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and

In the morning,

We will remember them.

TAR-SPANGLED BANNER Words by Francis Scott Key

Music by John Stafford Smith

O

,

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

O say does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave

ATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC Words BY Julia Ward Howe (1861)

Music by William Steffe (1856), arranged by James E. Greenleaf, C. S. Hall and C. B. March (1861)

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.

(CHORUS) 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. (CHORUS) 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. (CHORUS) 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. (CHORUS) Glory, glory, hallelujah! glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! His truth is marching on.

A PSALM OF DAVID Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for H Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

OD BLESS AMERICA Words and music by Irving Berlin

God Bless America, Land that I love.

Stand beside her, and guide her

Thru the night with a light from above.

From the mountains, to the prairies,

To the oceans, white with foam

God bless America, My home sweet home.

APS Words and music by Brigadier General Daniel Butterfield, USV

Day is done, gone the sun From the lakes, from the hills, from the sky All is well, safely rest God is nigh.

Fading light dims the sight And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright From afar, drawing near Falls the night.

Thanks and praise for our days Neath the sun, neath the stars, neath the sky As we go, this we know God is nigh.


~ 10 ~

DEAR DEPARTED COMPANIONS We give thee most hearty thanks for our Companions who have served our country in days past and are now at rest. We commend the souls of our departed brothers and sisters to thy never-failing care and love. The Lord of all bless and keep them and be gracious unto them. May the Lord lift up his countenance upon them and give them peace, both now and evermore. This we humbly ask in your most holy name. Amen.

I AM YOUR FLAG Words by Harry Morgan, USMC (Fmr)

I am the flag of the United States of America.

I am called old Glory.

I am called the Star-Spangled Banner.

I am the trenches in France, Belgium, Anzio, Normandy, Omaha Beach, Guadalcanal, and Korea.

I am the jungle of Vietnam and the sands of Desert Storm and the streets of Bosnia.

I am the names of those who never came back to keep this Republic free. When you salute me, you are actually saluting them.

I am the symbol of America.

The home of the proud, the brave and the free
