Keep America Free

World War II veteran, Amelie Prados Cressend is moved to tears as Marine Corps Band New Orleans performs the rearranged, updated and expanded arrangement of her original song, “Keep America Free,” at Marine Corps Support Facility band hall, May 6. Retired Marine Corps musician, former Staff Sgt. Jake Johnson, and Marine Corps Band New Orleans worked together to bring Cressend’s dream and musical vision to life by harmonizing and rearranging her original score, and adapting the song into their official repertoire.
