Christopher David Burleigh

This is the photo he took the day he enlisted in the U. S. Army. 
He is presently stationed at Fort Lewis, WA in the Infantry Stryker Brigade. 
I will add more to this page as time goes.

You can see him here also. He is the second photo.

 

This is a photo taken by the Chaplin. This was during his second week of training. 
His graduation was on November 24th, 2004. 
I am out of room on this site so I can't add more photos.

 

 

The Army Song

"The Army Goes Rolling Along" is the official song of the United States Army. The song was dedicated on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, 1956. The music was composed in 1908 by Lt. (later BG) Edmund L. Gruber and was originally known as the "Caisson Song."
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 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.

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.

Valley Forge, Custer's ranks
San Juan Hill and Patton's tanks,
And the Army goes rolling along.
Minutemen from the start,
Always fighting from the heart,
And the Army goes rolling along.

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.

Men in rags, men who froze,
Still the Army met its foes,
And the Army goes rolling along.
Faith in God, then we're right
And we'll fight with all our might
As the Army goes rolling along.

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.
