Our Boys By Alan L. Strang

           Written after the United States entered the war, fighting on the side of the Entente Allies.

            Halt! Attention! Salute the flag,
                The boys are marching by;
            They’re going forth to win the war
                For us to do or die.
            Our country needed fighting men,
                Her liberty to save;
            These boys responded to the call,
                And all they had they gave.

            All loyal hearts are beating fast,
                And hope our bosoms fill;
            For liberty shall reign supreme
                O’er ocean, dale and hill.
            With no regrets for parted hopes
                Or futures cast aside,
            Our soldier boys are marching by;
                They are our country’s pride.
