All of the U.S. military organizations have a song or hymn that they play and/or sing on specific occasions. The U.S. Marine hymn is better known as the Halls of Montezuma, a phrase that stems from the first line of the song. The U.S. Army has the Caisson Song, also known as The Army Goes Rolling Along. Sailors in the U.S. Navy sing the well-known hymn Anchors Away.
Finally, while the official song of the U.S. Air Force is simply "The U.S. Air Force Song," it is recognizable by the beginning of the first stanza:
Off we go into the wild blue yonder,
Climbing high into the sun.
Here they come zooming to meet our thunder...
The phrase "wild blue yonder" refers of course to flying into the blue skies and has long been used in a figurative sense to mean a place that is remote and (usually) unknown.
Yonder is an adverb meaning "in the place or direction shown" and is found in one of the most famous lines from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. As Juliet appears in a window, Romeo raptures about her presence, comparing her beauty to the light of the sun:
"But, soft! What light through yonder window breaks?"
