Nor would your crowd know a deep heartfelt patriotism under any conditions. Probably not 20 among them even know National Anthem protocol.

Isn't it disrespectful to change the words to our national anthem?

Sorry about that, but things like this can do with a bit of repetition.

Just for you, dude: Fourth Verse:

Quote:
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!
Star Spangled Banner Lyrics - USA Flag Site

LOL I thought there were only three verses

Seriously though, the guy has a good voice...I believe that scene took place in MN in the neighboring county.

It was not just the man who sang, how he sang, or the the words he sang, or even everyone rising to their feet to show their respect, it was the entire experience that made it special, very special.

You can thank Woodrow Wilson for removing the additional verses.
