About the Army

The army is about people who go into service to serve our country. They risk their own lives to save ours. It’s a very dependable job, its not like a regular job. 


You can’t  just do your eight hours or so and go home. You can’t get mad and quit. When you sign up for the Army or any other military force, it’s a big commitment.

There are a lot of advantages in being in the Army. You can see other  countries and things you never thought you would see. You meet people from all over the country. 


You make friends that you would consider your brothers and sisters. You can get a college education for free.


When you enlist in the army, you will have to live by the seven Army values, which are: Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless service, Honor, Intergrity, and Personal courage.By doing all these things, you will prove that you are apart of the United States Army.

Here is a song that goes along with the Seven Army values.
"The Army Goes Rolling Along"

March along, sing our song, with the Army of the free.
Count the brave, count the true, who have fought to victory.
We’re the Army and proud of our name!
We’re the Army and proudly proclaim:

First Chorus:

First to fight for the right,
And to build the Nation’s might,
And the Army goes rolling along.
Proud of all we have done,
Fighting till the battle’s won,
And the Army goes rolling along.

Refrain:

Then it’s hi! hi! hey!
The Army’s on its way.
Count off the cadence loud and strong;
For where’er we go,
You will always know
That the Army goes rolling along.

Second Chorus:

Valley Forge, Custer’s ranks,
San Juan Hill and Patton’s tanks,
And the Army went rolling along.
Minute men, from the start,
Always fighting from the heart,
And the Army keeps rolling along.

Refrain:

(same as above)

Third Chorus:

(slower, more freely)
Men in rags, men who froze,
Still that Army met its foes,
And the Army went rolling along.
Faith in God, then we’re right,
And we’ll fight with all our might,
As the Army keeps rolling along.

Refrain:

Then it’s hi! hi! hey!
The Army’s on its way.
Count off the cadence loud and strong; (two! three!)
For where’er we go,
You will always know
That the Army goes rolling along! (keep it rolling!)
And the Army goes rolling along!

  1. I enjoyed reading this post. It reminds me of those risking their lives for out freedom. It is a hard job! Make sure when listing bullets, to keep the format consistent. Some of your bullets consisted of complete sentences, but the courage one did not. Hope this helps!

  2. I love the 7 values. I never knew about that. Link where you got the information for that, though. I like the various photos, too. They add a lot to your post. Great job reminding us of the sacrifice that people make when they join the army.
