Link Fixed. New! ASA ANTHEM!
- A Tribute to the Members of the Army Security Agency:
NOW FREE DOWNLOAD as "FAIR WARE" - PLEASE Donate what you think it is worth ... (Donate Here)
My brother-in-law Joel W. wrote a song honoring all ASA Veterans. He wrote the lyrics and melody, then recorded the vocals and some of the music, and passed it off to his two sons,
John, a professional musician of a nationally known touring rock band, and David, who entertains in British Columbia, Canada.
The family created this great new ASA Tribute, and I would encourage anyone interested in hearing a song dedicated to US! ... to make a 99 cent donation to download and enjoy this song!
Please spread the word among all your ASA friends, Reunion groups, Facebook ASA friends. ALL download donations will be split by two Verified Charities.
ASA LIVES will not receive anything other than the satisfaction of distributing this song for you.
Please, as "Top 10 Percenters" download for yourself and let the others get the satisfaction of downloading it for themselves too. Thanks!
Listen to a Sample, Download and Enjoy here: Keep The Faith! ( A phrase promoted by the late ASA Col. J.J. McFadden)
Actual song is four verses with choruses, running over 6 minutes long, with a bit of MORSE CODE (CW) in the background for you code takers to copy ....

First Verse
A letter from my Uncle said, “Young man you’re way too smart
to serve me in the usual way, so this is where we’ll start
Just put these cans upon your ears, tap ditty dum – hurray!
It’s goodbye to your mom, your girl, and your dog – you’re in the ASA!!


Second Verse
Ten thousand miles from home with endless ditty-bopper chores
Monterey Mary in the next bunk is snoring loud in morse
I’m a lonely NUG, I need a hug, but all I get are cuts and splits
So, I wash the ditties from my brain, and tap, tap, tap again


Now On CD-Rom Disk!
You asked for a
Hard Copy -

White is For The Flag We Fly ...
from the "Ballad of the ASA"
Take a listen at the link on the
left side of the page


Drunken Soldiers, Always High
Dropouts from old Sigma Phi
Men who bullshit all the way,
These are the men from the ASA

Plastic cans upon our ears,
We've been cleared and
we're not Queers

One Hundred Men will test today,
But only three make the ASA

Trained to go from bar to bar,
That's the life thats best by far
Men who drink will seldom fight,
And the ASA drinks through
the night


On a Mid, a Trick Chief waits,
Four of his men are coming late
Men who drink among the best
Another drink, their last request

A teal blue scarf 'round
my son's neck

Makes my son a nervous wreck
One hundred men re-upped today,
But not a one from the ASA

Black is for the night we fear,
Blue the water we don't go near.
WHITE IS FOR THE FLAG WE FLY,
Yellow is the reason why.

Red is for the blood we've shed.
As you see, there is no red!
One hundred men reupped today.
Not a one for the A-S-A!

About the ASA Patch
Approved 15 Jun 1962
Description:
Teal blue within a 1/8 inch yellow border, a shield 2 inches wide and 3 inches in depth,and issuant from the viewer's upper left the leg of an eagle in black with yellow talons grasping two crossed white lightning flashes issuant from upper right points to base.
Symbolism:

The flashes across the blue field suggest world-wide electrical communications. The eagle's claw grasping the flashes alludes to the Agency's general mission, that of insuring the smooth functioning of the Army's communication facilities.

The big question I have: who took one look at the new patch and uttered the infamous phrase: "L.F.C.F."??


ASA Marching Song

ASA is always, all the way
While in the States and far abroad
Guarding, guarding our country's freedom,
Were the men that get the job all done.

The vigilant sentry never ever sleeps,
He's always right there on the job,
The hidden enemy, always lurking,
He will not escape the vigilant sentry's eye

So as we're marching proudly down the way,
We fly our standards high.
The proud men of our unit also hold their heads up high.

So here we go we're always all the way
Soldiers first and second to none
We're marching, guarding, fighting.
For our Country. --

From a Banner Hung at
Arlington Hall Station


Thanks to Robert Dowdall - his other claim to fame - "ALL THE WAY!"
Coined for use with the ASA Salute at the time Lt. Col. Louis Millett was School commander in the '60's He also helped with the design of TTC.
