Now what’s say we get rid of all the leftist scum that have been hog tieing this great country for the last 80 years!
America IS the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.
Very moving. It brings tears to my eyes.
Paul McCartney, eat your heart out.
Wow, that was great. The YouTube video is at 840 hits. Need to get it into the millions (not as hard as you think) for it to become a YouTube sensation.
It will get picked up by the media. That is how we as FReepers can spread the message.
Go To The Link!
Hardly anyone even knows there are four stanzas in the National Anthem, but believe it or not, I learned all of them in NYC public school in the 60s-70s.
We sang the first verse every day before class began, and the first and fourth verses every week at assembly.
Can you believe THAT? It’s difficult to imagine such a thing happening today, isn’t it?

Goosebumps and tears.
November can’t get here soon enough.
I had to post to this...marking for later
When that Marine finished I was expecting an F-16 flyover.
AWESOME!!! That brought tears to my eyes and I’m a crusty old sailor.
Great post!
That stanza is in our hymnals, and there aren’t many dry eyes when it’s sung.
I am crying as I type this. That was emotional. Thank you.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war’s desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n 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
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Total WoW man..........wow
Thank you for that...beautiful!
now that was way cool.
My God!
that brought a few tears to this old curmudgeon’s eye.
Thank you, that was awesome!
They have got to fix the video. About half way through the video gets all blurry and stuff.
;-)
I find it a little surprising that it took so long into the verse before the crowd of patriots began to stand and put their hands over their hearts. I’m not saying I would have reacted any sooner, only that we’ve been conditioned by the words of the first verse to stand.
Probably because of all the sports we watch where people stand when they hear the first verse sung.
Outstanding!
It is things like this that restore my hope.
Every patriot that returns to America’s founding principles becomes an irresistible force in his or her own right.
