“Always Ready, Always There”
Music and lyrics by Chief Warrant Officer 4 David Myers, 40th Army Band, Vermont Army National Guard.
We are the Guard, Soldiers and Airmen all prepared.
We are the National Guard, we serve on land and in the air.
We go where duty calls, around the world and here at home.
Stand tall in the National Guard, Always Ready, Always There!
We represent our nation's best, men and women serving true.
In times of strife or nature's wrath, the Guard will always see us through!
We rise across the U.S.A., from sea to sea our land so fair.
We're proud of the National Guard, Always Ready, Always There!
We serve the call around the world, nation to nation we support.
As friends we work in partnership, to train or fight as duty calls.
While here at home, from state to state, community service we prepare,
We serve in the National Guard, Always Ready, Always There!
