A
NATION BORNE BY YOUR MASTS AND SPARS
Once
again her flag raised high,
a piece of our history command wind and sky.
Proud
sails lashed to timbered masts,
propel this craft from her berth and past.
For
two hundred years our pride she kept!
All
enemies from the sea she swept.
Our
freedom waas her mission dear.
To
many a tyrant she struck fear!
Decks
where heroes manned their stations,
now trod their descendants of this proud
nation.
Where
many a countryman passed away,
their memory, our freedom, with
us stay.
So
tell your story of a nation free.
Let
sails again race wind and sea.
We
stand with you on vigilant guard,
a nation borne by your masts and spars. Major
Craig C. Warner 1997
