It has its own name (kinda) and its own logo (sorta) – and now the US Space Force has its own anthem (no, for real this time).
Dubbed “Semper Supra” – after the Space Force’s Latin motto, which means “Always Above” – the new song joins other US military anthems like “Anchors Aweigh” (Navy), “Wild Blue Yonder” (Air Force), and “The Army Goes Rolling Along” (you can probably guess).
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to establish a Space Force song that will be part of our culture and heritage for years to come,” said General John “Jay” Raymond, Chief of Space Operations.
“Our traditions are part of the fabric that weave us all together as we execute our missions side-by-side; I will be proud to sing ‘Semper Supra’ alongside my fellow Guardians.”
If you’re curious, the song can be found here – and if you want to sing along, here are the lyrics:
“We’re the mighty watchful eye,
Guardians beyond the blue,
The invisible front line,
Warfighters brave and true.
Boldly reaching into space,
There’s no limit to our sky.
Standing guard both night and day,
We’re the Space Force from on high.”
Which is all very stirring, we suppose… but have they forgotten there’s no sound in space?
