WEST POINT KNOWLEDGE || QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
DETAILED ANSWERS.
West Point Alma Mater correct answers Hail Alma Mater dear,
To us be ever near.
Help us thy motto bear
Through all the years.
Let Duty be well performed.
Honor be e'er untarned.
Country be ever armed.
West Point, by thee.
Guide us, thy sons, aright,
Teach us by day, by night,
To keep thine honor bright,
For thee to fight.
When we depart from thee,
Serving on land or sea,
May we still loyal be,
West Point, to thee.
And when our work is done,
Our course on earth is run,
May it be said, "Well done;
Be thou at peace."
E'er may that line of gray
Increase from day to day
Live, serve, and die, we pray,
,West Point, for thee.
Star Spangled Banner correct answers Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light.
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming.
Whose broad stipes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight.
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
Oh, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
between their loved homes and wild war's desolation;
Bless'd with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just.
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust!"
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
