Which Division song will you always remember?

2014-02-28T06:06:52-05:00

We've all been in different Division where we had to sing the Division Song right after Reveille. Which one will always be your favorite and will always remember, no matter where you go?

I don't know about the best, but I know my current unit's song is terrible. It's been edited so that it is literally "Strykerized"(not a word, but it's in there) because the unit was mechanized when they came up with it. I also dislike it because at certain points it that openly call out the Infantry, because, this was once a purely cav unit I guess. There's a line that says "Well we're glad to know the Infantry are behind us, they'll have to eat Cavalry dust just to find us..." It's terrible, and literally no one likes it.

SGT Collaro, I may be a bit biased since I've only been in one division.  I will never forget "Screaming Eagles", which is the song for the 101st Airborne Division.<div><br></div><div><div>SCREAMING EAGLES</div><div><br></div><div>We have a rendezvous with destiny.</div><div>Our strength and courage strike the spark</div><div>That will always make men free.</div><div>Assault right down through the skies of blue;</div><div>Keep your eyes on the job to be done.</div><div>We're the Soldiers of the hundred-first;</div><div>We'll fight 'til the battle's won!</div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>

The Big Red One Song echoing into the first light of dawn every morning, carried by a thousand motivated voices...I am full H word this morning...forgive me.

Toast of the Army,
Favorite Son! Hail to the brave Big Red One!
Always the first to thirst for a fight.
No foe shall challenge our right to victory.
We take the field, A grand sight to see.
Pride of the Infantry.
Men of a great division,
Courage is our tradition,
Forward the Big Red One!

Assault right down through skies of blue

Keep your eyes on the job to be done

My first unit - the 3rd ID! I'm proud to have been a Dog Faced Soldier, and didn't have a division song for 2 years after I left since I went to a TRADOC brigade. Since then I've been in the Warrior Division, and an artillery brigade attached to 1st ID. 3rd ID is what I consider my Army home, and my favorite division song.

I would say 3rd Infantry Division. On Ft Stewart everyone had to sing each morning after saluting the flag. I spent 4 long years there and don't think I will ever forget the Dog Face Soldier Song. For all of us that have been there, "Rock of the Marne"

I first learned the Ode to the Big Red One in 1992, and when I retired as the First Sergeant of Headquarters Support Company, 1st Infantry Division in 2012, we sang it at my retirement ceremony. It is the only division song that I know, but frankly, it is the only Division Song I care to know!

When I was in The 3d ID every workday started with the Dogface Soldier Song. I remember as an incentive, my PSG would allow one person to be dismissed from PT following the Dogface Soldier Song and Reveille. That person was the one who sang the song the loudest. Needless to say, every morning the person who was least motivated to conduct PT was most motivated to sing until his lungs collapsed. It was entertaining and good for morale if nothing else. I will never forget that song and to this day, two units later, I still carry the "Marne Standard" in my left breast pocket.
