There are a ton of great songs about military life, that reference the military in some way; some of the more modern works may have a video associated with it, and some of the older classics continue to define the military experience to this day. From country to rock, ballads & pop, to more traditional flavors--did a particular song inspire, educate, or simply strike a chord with you? Please feel free to share any inspiring military-related music, any music or songs that makes you think of/or reminds you of your military service, as well as any links, photos, descriptions or anything that helps you tell your story. The idea here is to have a fun and thought provoking discussion, which will be fun, informative, and provide a means to tell our stories... and to learn about one another as well as our sister services in the process. Wishing you all the best, I look forward to hearing from you, and interacting with you all in the threads!

Saw the movie and thought this was a really great song. Thanks for the reminder. Of course after viewing this on you tube, I had to take the tour of Sgt Majors offered there. Lots of good movies to remember.

Without doubt "Warrior's Song", either the USA or USMC version. If that doesn't get the blood pumping, you don't have any.

LTC(P) Davis was kind enough to upload two great versions of the "Battle of New Orleans," in a separate thread on military cadence, one of which is performed by the legendary Johnny Cash... great choices, thanks again Colonel Davis!
Ah yes, "Jody calls," we've all heard them, marched to them, run to them, and/or called them out in a motivated tone... so, what are your all time favorites? This is an inter-service thread here...
Johnny Cash singin' The Battle Of New Orleans. This is from the 1972 album "America"

PO3 Smith, this one's for you... Go Navy!
This is the United States Navys very own Anchors Aweigh song. Anchors away has been the United States Navys song for many years and is one of my favorites!

Pardon me 'blowing up' this feed, but several more songs came to mind that I haven't seen. I like other Avenged Sevenfold (A7X) songs more, and they played for the USO, but here are a few more:
A7X - Gunslinger
30 Seconds to Mars - This is War
Big N' Rich - 8th of November
A7X - Gunslinger
30 Seconds to Mars - This is War

Letters from Home by John Michael Montgomery. I loved this song even before I joined the Army, but it's more meaningful to me now.

It's kind of corny - but I think of the forced separation of Loved ones during a Deployment, so Mr. Steve Perry of Journey - "Send Her My Love."

Capt West, thanks for sharing, great song, as was just about every musical piece Steve Perry signed his name to, absolutely amazing talent... by the way, there's nothing considered corny in this forum brother, we operate strictly in the 'no judgment zone' here. So, this one's for you, great choice... thanks again for posting!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYqMWv98tlc
