U.S. Space Force: “The Invincible Eagle”
John Philip Sousa
“The U.S. Space Force March,” is an interim song for the newest military branch based on John Philip Sousa’s 1901 march, “The Invincible Eagle.” Sousa, “The March King,” wrote the piece while traveling by train between Buffalo and New York. According to a member of the Sousa Band who was traveling with him, he put the piece on paper with fervor, not breaking until he had written the accompaniment and “picked out the march on an [imaginary] violin on his fingers.” Sousa had high hopes for the piece, likening it to another celebrated U.S. march, “The Stars and Stripes Forever.”

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.
