Pick up your weapon and follow me

This day always brings to my memory a cadence we had when I first joined the Military. Maybe its still arround.
Oohh Soldier, Combat Soldier,
Pick up your weapon and follow me
I am the Infantry.
1st Division,
Patch on my shoulder
A First in battle Soldier,
A Ft Riley Soldier.
Pick up your weapon and follow me
I am the infantry.
82nd Patch on my shoulder
A Ft Bragg Soldier,
An always airborne Soldier
Pick up your weapon and follow me
I am the Infantry.

And so on through the many famous and outstanding units of American Army History, ending  with the verse

Sixth Of June
Brave men are dying
Dying on the beaches
Dting for freedom
Freedom and honor
Pick up your weapon and follow me
I am the Infantry.

This day has special meaning. Stronger than Independence Day, greater then Memorial Day, or any other, this Day marked the determination personified that We would not tollerate tyranny. Lets keep that tradition alie. Lets rekindle that spirit. Lets kick the communists in our government to the coast and into the water.
Do not let the deaths of our grandfathers be wasted effort. Demand better of our government. Their legacy demands it.

Haven't heard it as a cadence in years. Retired in 1999. Possible it still being used at Fort Benning.
