Thanks to all who offered information on lead sheets for the service
songs! I'm all OK now.
I searched some more for the correct protocol order, and finally found
what appears to be the definitive answer:
When the songs are arranged in a medley format, it is protocol to present
them in order of junior to senior service, as follows:
* _United States Coast Guard: "Semper Paratus"_
(http://www.pbs.org/memorialdayconcert/salute/coastguard.html)
* _United States Air Force: "The Air Force Song"_
(http://www.pbs.org/memorialdayconcert/salute/airforce.html)
* _United States Navy: "Anchors Aweigh"_
(http://www.pbs.org/memorialdayconcert/salute/navy.html)
* _United States Marines: "The Marine Corps Hymn"_
(http://www.pbs.org/memorialdayconcert/salute/marines.html)
* _United States Army: "As the Army Goes Rolling Along"_
(http://www.pbs.org/memorialdayconcert/salute/army.html)
Thanks again, folks, Al B
