For Victory We Stand

Theme taken from President Wilson's speech.

For victory! for victory! in this our free born land  We're going to fight with all our mightSo the world will understand  That duty calls us one and all;So help to crush the foe,  For right is might, that's why we fight,For our banner's rights we do go

For victory! for victory! so the Stars and Stripes may wave,  As men of valour, deed and worthWe are going it for to save.  To our nations's call we will be true.That's why we're in the fray;  To try to save our countrymenWe stand for life and liberty.

For victory! for victory! noble and brave we'll be;  As fighting men we're going to goIn the air, on land or on sea,  So that righteousness may triumphOver wrong at every turn,  And we'll keep the home fires burningFor our soldier lads' return.
