wallfish 17,000 #1 Posted May 27, 2022 Thank You Veterans! This was from a few years back and don't think the national anthem can be sung much better than this. This kid knocked it out of the park. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRjzBXE0SbA (They limited the link so it can't play on other websites but it goes right to Youtube) 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handy Don 12,232 #5 Posted May 28, 2022 Some years back I was in Philly for the Army-Navy football game. I hope I long remember seeing the mix of uniforms and hearing the voices of their combined glee clubs singing the anthem a cappella. And I second @wallfish's thanks to all who have served, and are serving, our country. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 15,485 #6 Posted May 28, 2022 I too appreciate those who have served and are still serving as well, but Memorial day is not for them. It is for remembering those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Thank you for giving it all. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,264 #7 Posted May 28, 2022 When our national anthem is played prior to every televised NASCAR race I stand with hand over my heart in our living room. This week's race at the Charlotte Motor Speedway is dedicated to those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom. Sadly most other sporting events allow the broadcasters to go to commercials or even worse they talk over the Star Spangled Banner being played. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
