ResumeThis is part of our hour on the U.S. Space Force's mission. Listen here.
You’d probably recognize some of history’s more famous military anthems.

So when the U.S. Space Force was created, Miguel and Federico knew immediately what their next composition had to be.
"My brother, Federico ... he's definitely the visionary," Miguel says.
"He immediately came to me and said, 'Hey I just heard that they want to create a new branch. How exciting is that? Can we do an anthem?'" Miguel says.
