In 1944 at Ft. Slocum, N.Y., Willie Lee Duckworth, an ordinary buck private from Sandersville, Georgia, authored one of the most popular marching cadences in military history. At first known as the "Duckworth Chant," it later gained fame as "Sound Off": "Ain't no use in goin' home / Jody's got your gal and gone / Ain't no use in feeling blue / Jody's got your sister, too. / Sound Off / One. Two / Sound Off / Three. Four." With those words, Willie Lee Duckworth made the journey from foot soldier to footnote in military history.
