It was the first thing they put on the screen when my unit redeployed back home from the Gulf in May 1991. First bit of TV, movie, etc. we'd seen since we left the States. I don't think there was anyone in my battery that wasn't choked up wahtching/hearing it.
So regardless of how may people want to mock it, it meant a whole lot for some of us.
So truth is now mocking?
Houston sold “it” so well because she new the Anthem was taped and dubbed.
What would happen to the moral if the audio skipped, a la Ashlee Simpson?
