Union forever, Our glorious nation's sweet hymn, May the wreaths it has won never wither, Nor the stars of its glory grow dim, May the service united ne'er sever, But they to their colors prove true.

The star spangled banner bring hither, O'er Columbia's true sons let it wave; May the wreaths they have won never wither, Nor its stars cease to shine on the brave. May thy service united ne'er sever, But hold to the colors so true; The Army and Navy forever, Three cheers for the red, white, and blue! 𝄆 Three cheers for the red, white, and blue! 𝄇 The Army and Navy forever, Three cheers for the red, white, and blue References External links Film of COMNAVAIRPAC Band performing "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean" during recovery of the Apollo 11 command module Columbia Edward F.
