*****ANTHEM APPRECIATION DAY!****
GO TO FT. MCHENRY SUNDAY!
SING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM THERE AT 1:00!
...INSTEAD OF AT THE STADIUM FOR KICK-OFF!
Great idea! I will try to be there.
This is my Steeler-fan DH’s idea. He called me at lunch to tell me. He’s sent messages to WCBM for morning-show hosts to hopefully declare.
Instead of Steeler-Raven game, we’ll be 15 min away celebrating our country and banner and our anthem!
Spread the word any way you can. Facebook, fliers in local business, anything!
If you’re within range of Fort McHenry, this is the thing to do.
If not, try and find an appropriate location and have Anthem Appreciation Day in your community. Let’s make this national.
I would prefer a full month .
Indeed, other regions find other patriotic places to gather and celebrate.
Make the NFL and their BLM and “Anti-fa” buddies cringe.
I’d like another Chick-Fil-A day!
True. That’s possible.
But sometimes just a one-two punch gives a nice shock.
Yesterday in Chick fill A I noticed a painting on the wall of a soldier kneeling before a US flag. If the word gets out they’ll have to add a third drive through.
Very cool. Wish I could go. On the west coast.
Pray it covers the entire nation.
The video you posted is GREAT however the comments below the video are VERY DISHEARTENING!!! I feel everyday we are closer to losing our beloved nation to these MARXIST bastards!!!
All 4 Stanzas!!!!
O say can you see, by the dawns early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilights last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
Oer the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
Oer the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foes haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, oer the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the mornings first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
Tis the star-spangled banner, O long may it wave
Oer the land of the free and the home of the brave.
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battles confusion,
A home and a country, should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave,
Oer the land of the free and the home of the brave.
O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the wars desolation.
Blest with victry and peace, may the Heavn rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: In God is our trust.
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
Oer the land of the free and the home of the brave!

rats....only the first and last verses.....continued searching
I say: “If they take a knee, give’em the FINGER!!”
You should try ginning up a site to use nearer you!
Ever since 9/11, this has been my very favorite, a very dramatic version:

(Our local radio host played it every day; had never known until then. Can imagine a fantastic film version to go with it!)
Behind enemy lines. Antifa rules in my state.
LOL do you think MD is a great “red” (I cringe at that designation) state? Baltimore in particular? We have to drive through *ahem* “rough” neighborhood to reach the Fort, too!
