Abstract
Abstract:With the onset of America's involvement in World War II in December 1941, there was a marked upswing in the popularity of all patriotic music, including the "Marines' Hymn." This article provides insight into the story of the "Marines' Hymn" during World War II, including the increase in demand for published sheet music editions and the numerous suggestions of new lyrics to reflect the wartime experiences of Marines around the globe. It also highlights the role played by Marine Corps leadership in encouraging the hymn's popularity, both at home and in the directives given to their combat correspondents reporting from the front.
