Semper Paratus (Always Ready) Words and Music by Captain Francis Saltus Van Boskerck, USCG 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. The United States Coast Guard is a military, multi-mission, maritime service and one of the nation’s five Armed Services.
