What are the AAS colors? (Describe each one)
White represents the purity of our intent.
Red symbolizes the blood shed by Americans fighting for freedom
Blue is the color of the sky in which we fly.
Gold represents the wings with which we fly, and warrior courage.
Sing the 2nd and 3rd verse of the AF Song
Brilliant minds fashioned a crate of thunder,
Sent it high into the blue;
Valiant hands blasted the world asunder;
How they lived God only knew!
Boundless souls dreaming of skies to conquer
Gave us wings, ever to soar!
With scouts before and bombers galore. Hey!
Nothing’ll stop the U.S. Air Force!
Here's a toast to the host
Of those who love the vastness of the sky,
To a friend we send a message
Of the brave who serve on high.
We drink to those who gave their all of old,
Then down we roar to score the rainbow's pot
of gold. A toast to the host of those we boast,
the U.S Air Force!
