Remember the crew of the USS Stark;
they gave their lives for liberty.
Say a prayer in your heart
because they died for you and me.

We will bring the Air Force
into the twenty-first century;
we will stand proud and become
what we can be.

It is up to each one of us
to learn what we can do,
to see our goals realized,
to follow them through.

Look up at the Eagle flying;
witness as the Hornet soars.
Do your best; keep on trying
for peace we need on foreign shores.

We are the chosen within our branch;
we represent the citizens of our homeland.
For us to be chosen, it wasn’t by chance;
as leaders we’ll stand proud to take command.

The “Pursuit of Happiness”
is within our grasp;
sometimes it takes forgiveness
if we want peace to last.
