For The Federation I Will Give My Life is the anthem of the United Earth Federation. Colonel John Shepard McKnight of EarthCom originally composed and sung the song for a morale boost during the war, calling it It's a Good Day To Die, in 3142. In 3149 the McKnight gave the song up in a competition for the choosing of an anthem for the UEF. The Senate voted and had the song modified, and took it as the anthem in 3150.

Not the entire song is used as the anthem, simply because it will be too long to sing at the modified pace. However, here follows the original lyrics:

''Courage! Duty! Honor!'' We calls upon our troopers in this our darkest hour. Our way of life is what we are fighting for. The flat that flies above us, inspires us each day. To give our very best, in every way!

(Chorus) It's a good day to die. When you know the reasons why. Citizens we fight for what is right. A noble sacrifice. When duty calls, you pay the price. For the Federation I will give my life.

Well all is fair, in love and war. That's what my gunny says. You are not alive unless you are almost dying. There are the words I march by, Courage, Duty, Honor. Every single day and I have been trying.

It's a good day to die. When you know the reasons why. Citizens we fight for what is right. A noble sacrifice. When duty calls, you pay the price. For the Federation I will give my life. Courage, Duty, Honor.

In God, our ancients trusted. We will do the very same. He's giving the strength to carry on. To fly, and win this war!

It's a good day to die. When you know the reasons why. Citizens we fight for what is right. A noble sacrifice. When duty calls, you pay the price. For the Federation I will give my life. Courage, Duty, Honor.

It's a good day to die. When you know the reasons why. Citizens we fight for what is right. A noble sacrifice. When duty calls, you pay the price For the Federation I will give my life. Courage, Duty, Honor.

For the Federation I will give my life.
