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

I am an American Airman.
I am a Warrior.
I have answered my nation's call.
I am an American Airman.
My mission is to fly, fight, and win.
I am faithful to a proud heritage,
a tradition of honor,
and a legacy of valor.
I am an American Airman,
Guardian of freedom and justice,
My nation's sword and shield,
Its sentry and avenger.
I defend my country with my life.
I am an American Airman:
Wingman, Leader, Warrior.
I will never leave an Airman behind.
I will never falter,
and I will not fail.

Here's a toast to the host of those who love the vastness of the sky,
To a friend we send the message of his brother men who fly.
We drink to those who gave their all of old,
Then dow we roar to score the rainbow's pot of gold.
A toast to the host of men we boast,
The US Air Force!

Off we go into the wild sky yonder,
Keep the wings level and true;
If you'd live to be a gray-haired wonder
Keep the nose out of the blue!
Flying men, guarding our nation's border,
We'll be there, followed by more!
In echelon we carry on. Hey!
Nothing'll stop the US Air Force!

Definition
"It is the soldier, not the reporter, Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the organizer, Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier, Who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag, Who allows the protestor to burn the flag. |
