The Last Full Measure of Devotion (arr. I. Frazier and M. Davis) - Robert Petillo/United States Army Chorus/United States Army Band[00:00:00]
In the long and honored history of America[00:00:15]
There are names that shine like beacons in the night[00:00:21]
The Patriots whose vision gave us meaning[00:00:28]
Who kept the lamp of freedom burning bright[00:00:34]
In the long and honored history of America[00:00:40]
There are those who paid the last and final price[00:00:46]
Who were called upon by chance by desperate circumstance[00:00:52]
To make the ultimate sacrifice[00:00:58]
A grateful nation bows it's head in sorrow[00:01:06]
And in thanks for guaranteeing our tomorrow[00:01:12]
The last full measure of devotion[00:01:30]
That's what they gave to the 'cause[00:01:37]
The last full measure of devotion[00:01:41]
And though they cannot hear our applause[00:01:47]
We honor them forever and keep alive their stories[00:01:53]
Pay tribute to their lives and give them all the glory[00:01:58]
The last full measure of devotion[00:02:08]
Beyond the call of duty were their deeds[00:02:13]
The last full measure of devotion[00:02:19]
They gave themselves to serve the greater need[00:02:24]
And for those who did survive[00:02:29]
Who came back home alive[00:02:32]
We join in praise of comrades who were slain[00:02:35]
And highly resolved most highly resolved[00:02:40]
That these dead shall not have died in vain[00:02:50]
The last full measure of devotion[00:03:02]
Beyond the call of duty were their deeds[00:03:07]
The last full measure of devotion[00:03:12]
They gave themselves to serve the greater need[00:03:18]
And for those who did survive[00:03:23]
Who came back home alive[00:03:26]
We join in praise of comrades who were slain[00:03:28]
And highly resolved most highly resolved[00:03:36]
That these dead shall not have died in vain[00:03:46]
