VICTORY | Military Cadence
(Lyrics & History)
The U.S. Military’s "Jodies," call-and-response chants, do more than set a pace. They foster unity, uplift morale, and reflect the deep-rooted traditions that bring soldiers together during marches and runs.
VICTORY is a spirited military cadence used during marches and runs to maintain rhythm, build camaraderie, and boost morale among service members. This particular cadence emphasizes themes of triumph, duty, and the commitment of Soldiers to their country.
Lyrics
V-I-C-T-O-R-Y
Victory, victory that’s my battle cry.
S-O-L-D-I-E-R
Soldiers, soldiers, that’s who we are.
F-R-E-E-D-O-M
Freedom, freedom, that’s what we win
C-O-U-N-T-R-Y
For duty, or my country I’d give my life
