Marine Corps Hymn

In the end of the book the Spartans end up being surrounded, their flanks taken and completely out numbered Xerxes asks Leonidas one last time if he will kneel. In one last act of defiance Leonidas and his men make a final stand and a attempt on Xerxes life fully well knowing that there was no escaping a certain death. Their commitment to their cause was unwavering believing fully in what they fought for they were committed to the point of willfully giving up their lives for their cause and they did so with pride. This one final act ties into how the Marine Corps is very much like the Spartans of old as the

Many people hail “The Star Spangled Banner” as the greatest piece of American music. The audiences of America’s national anthem seem, instinctively, eager to express their respect by embracing the notion to remove their hats and stand up. However, not many people ponder over the question of what “The Star Spangled Banner” truly means. What does it mean? Why does it deserve so much reverence and honor? What exceptional difference allows it to prevail over the masterpieces of prominent composers like Mozart and Beethoven? The answer is fairly simple. “The Star Spangled Banner” symbolizes America’s perseverance, its set of moral laws and ethics, and its history that constitutes what America truly means.

“Four-Forty-Second Infantry / We're the boys of Hawai'i nei / We'll fight for you / And the Red, White and Blue, And go to the front. / And back to Honolulu-lulu. / Fighting for dear old Uncle Sam / Go for broke! / HOOH! / We don't give a damn! / We'll round up the Huns / At the point of our guns, / And vict'ry will be ours! / GO FOR BROKE! / FOUR-FOUR-TWO! / GO FOR BROKE! / FOUR-FOUR-TWO! And vict'ry will be ours!” (442nd Unit Fight Song). Just as many historical songs are wont to be subjected to select refinements, the 422nd Unit Fight Song is no exception. Primitively the song had the phrases “One-Puka-Puka” in place of what is currently “Four-Forty-Second” suggesting the song was originally written for the

Within the novel, Anthem, Equality begins the story as though what is being done is a sin. As the novel progresses on, Equality’s mentality develops as well leading up to the progression of his assessment of this so called sin. Upon reaching the end of Equality’s self-finding, he reaches the conclusion that what he is doing is infact not a sin. Following the mentality that one should have their own individualistic quality, Equality’s final assessment of this “sin” would be correct.

Thomas Jefferson and the Tripoli Pirates is about the US-Tripoli War of 1801-1805 that took place during Jefferson’s presidency.

Ralph Waldo Emerson was an American essayist, lecturer, and leader of the transcendentalist movement.

The song written by Horton explains how The Battle of New Orleans was started and how it ended. It starts off informing listeners that Colonel Jackson was taking his infantry south, following the Mississippi River. The song then continues to describe how the Americans began firing at the British in a surprise attack. Jackson’s calvary sent the British retreating to the Gulf of Mexico with an impressive victory. “In total only 8 Americans were killed

The Tripolitan War was a war with the Barbary Pirates when they continually attacked our ships and took our sailors for hostages even after we paid tribute from George Washington’s time to Jefferson’s time. Jefferson started this war because even after paying the tribute there was still no peace, the Barbary Pirates increased their demands and kept attacking our ships this continued until the tribute was more than 20 percent our annual revenue. The war moved us closer to providing for the common defense because during that time we kept getting attacked and our citizens were being taken hostage so instead of continuing this cycle, Jefferson took the initiative and attacked Tripoli. In conclusion, the Tripoli War moved us closer to providing for the common defense because instead of sitting around paying huge amounts of money for nothing, and having our people abducted, we attacked and fought for our

The Star - Spangled Banner was written by Francis Scott Key as he watched his fellow Americans stand strong in their darkest hour. For over twenty four hours Fort McHenry was bombarded by British Navy, but the American troops fought, and so did their families. The Americans rallied around the singular flag that stood high in the fort, and a flag that was a target for the British armada. They planned to destroy the flag to disrupt moral, but the Americans refused to let it fall. They used that singular flag as motivation, and motivation that eventually won them the battle. The flag still holds the same purpose today. To remember those who have fought, or are currently fighting in our armies. It also serves as a source of pride, motivation, and patriotism towards our country. Knowing what our flag means to our history and our country, we can’t possibly keep letting our countries source of pride be disrespected by those attempting to promote their own cause. Are nations athletes that choose to display their displeasure with our nation’s current state, and disrespect what our flag means for our country.

My favorite hymn is “In Christ Alone.” By most standards it is a modern hymn. While many Christian hymns date back to the early church, the two songwriters of “In Christ Alone” began work in 2000 and completed their work two years later. Although it lacks historical prestige, this hymn’s grandeur, strong lyrics and musical melody elevate it to a status often only given the ancient songs. “In Christ alone” is undoubtedly a very influential hymn to many in my generation. So, because of its personal impact on my life I have chosen to name it my favorite hymn.
