VideoThe U.S. Air Force Band's Max Impact has made unique contributions to our Airman culture, writing career field-specific songs for the Honor Guard ("Stand") and Air Force Special Operations ("Send Me"). However, for their next project, the members of the band wanted to broaden the scope of their message. The result of this desire for force-wide inclusivity is the song "American Airman," which was written by Technical Sgt. Nalani Quintello and Senior Master Sgt. Matt Ascione, both members of Max Impact.
Lyrics:
We all wear the same color blue
We do what we do cause we know it's true
From the planes we fly, up in the sky
To the boots on the ground, we know why
We stand together on freedom's ride
Brothers and sisters you can never divide
Like Billy Mitchell we'll be standing tall
Wherever the fight, we will answer the call...cause
I'm an American Airman
I'll fight for freedom
America the land of the free
It's only that way cause of you and me
We stand watch in the atmosphere
Wingman warriors are always near
Making history we raise the bar
Kinda like Hap Arnold wearing 5 stars
So listen close to what I say
It's the USAF all the way
CHORUS
I'm a sentry and avenger
My nation's sword and shield
I defend my country with my life
American Airman in the land of the free
Forever till the end I'll defend my country
It's in my blood and it's who I am
And if you don't believe then I'll sing it again
American...
I'll fight for freedom yes I will
CHORUS
American Airman etc (shout chorus)
