"Personally I feel the national anthem should be changed to America the Beautiful......."
Go visit Ft. McHenry and I think you may come away with the opposite opinion. The song has new meaning to me now. The presentation they give is very informative and moving. Afterwards, I was allowed to help raise the replica of the original Star Spangled Banner. The next day I saw it in the Smithsonian undergoing restoration. That was a great trip.
Since September 11th, the third verse of our National Anthem has brought tears to my eyes. "O thus be it ever when free men shall stand Between their loved homes and the war's desolation...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 O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave."
