This is a new one to me. I had no idea this march existed. It was composed in the late 1980s by George King III, a retired U.S. Coast Guard Senior Chief Musician. It’s a good march, one that should be played more often, especially these days.
The mission of our service is known the world around
In research and in treatment no equal can be found
In the silent war against disease no truce is ever seen
We serve on the land and the sea for humanity
The Public Health Service Team

My coworker’s wife works for HHS (part of PHS) . I’ll have to ask if she knows their “fight song”.
Now, h ere’s your trivia for the day. T he Public Health Service’s Commissioned Corps is one of the 8 (!) uniformed services in the US, including the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard. Do you know the other 2?

You asked this one before, and I had to look it up. I don’t remember the answer, but it surprised me.

Well the new kid on the block (when I last asked, there were 7) is Space Force. But the other one is the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration Uniformed Officer Corps.
