The music in the background is the United States Coast Guard's theme song. It is called Semper Paratus or always Ready Versions & Changes The original words and music were written by Captain Francis S. Van Boskerck, USCG in 1927. The first line of each chorus was changed in 1969. The Coast Guard Hymn (Semper Paratus) (Coast Guard Anthem) From North and South and East and West, The Coast Guard's in the fight. Destroying subs and landing troops, The Axis feels our might. For we're the first invaders, On every fighting field. Afloat, ashore, on men and Spars, You'll find the Coast Guard shield. We're always ready for the call, We place our trust in Thee. Through howling gale and shot and shell, To win our victory. "Semper Paratus" is our guide, Our pledge, our motto, too. We're "Always Ready," do or die! Aye! Coast Guard, we fight for you.
