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
