Anchors Aweigh

Anchors Aweigh, my boys, Anchors Aweigh.
Farewell to college joys, we sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay.
Through our last night on shore, drink to the foam,
Until we meet once more. Here's wishing you a happy voyage home.

World War II
"The Mad Gator"

Does Anyone Have A Recording Of This Song

FIGHTING AMPHIBIANS
Sail for the beach, Fighting Amphibians,
We land at break of day.
Vict'rys in reach, Fighting Amphibians,
Again we lead the way.

And when they write the History of the way
The War was really won,
The world will acclaim Men of the landing force
With "Amphibians, Well done."

~ Words and Music by Lt. Warren J. Ayers, USNR

During World War II, the saying "Kilroy Was Here!" began to appear as graffiti at home and wherever the American military traveled abroad. Whoever Kilroy was, had 'been there first'. As a joke, American troops began placing the graffiti wherever the US forces landed and claimed it had already been there when they'd arrived.
