MY SAY: JOHN McCAIN

He was a graduate of the United States Naval Academy ….For this old soldier it is “ Anchors Away” “On seven seas we learn Navy’s stern call: Faith, courage, service true,
With honor, over honor, over all”.…..rsk

It was composed in 1906 by Charles A. Zimmermann with lyrics by Alfred Hart Miles. When he composed “Anchors Aweigh,” Zimmermann was a lieutenant and had been bandmaster of the United States Naval Academy Band since 1887.
