    The Marine Corps band should perform the national anthem at every Superbowl and big time sporting event. They need to stop having the hot pop singer du jour murder this solemn piece of music by their soulful vocal inflections. It's the National Anthem, not the national love ballad.

      and one of her personal tragedies was her rendition of the national anthem. One minute. Up tempo. No embellishments. Shut up and sing the words correctly. If you can't hit the final high note, guess what, the same note exists an octave lower, and there are other cheats as a singer you can do, like talk your way thru it. It's not open to "interprifyin" Shut up and sing it. Quickly, proudly. You'll get a standing O.

    This song brings tears to my eyes. I love the USA so much. Even when I don’t agree with the leadership, it just shows that the beautiful idea of American democracy is at work. And yes we have our flaws but we also have a unique ability to come together when times are at their worst. I’ll use one of my favorite quotes, “I miss 9/12. I would never want another 9/11, but I miss the America of 9/12. Stores ran out of flags to sell because they were being flown everywhere. People were Americans before they were upper/lower class, Jewish/Christian, Republican/Democrat. We hugged people without caring if they ate Chic-Fil-A or wore Nikes.
    On 9/12, what mattered more to us was what united us, not divided us.” - Elizabeth S Gray. That was an America in pain. But we stood strong. Our flag still flew high. We were more proud of our nation than ever. Then on May 1, 2011, thousands of people took to our streets, monuments, our government buildings, flying flags, pumping their fists, chanting ‘USA USA USA’. People say that that America is gone, but I don’t think so. I believe it still live in us, in our hearts, and it exists as the love for our nation, and it constantly shows itself, even in this video. If you pay attention you will notice that when the drum roll began everyone in the auditorium was seated, but the second those first 3 notes played, it was a fluid motion of everyone standing up. I see it at sports games. Tens of thousands of people standing and singing the anthem, hand over heart, hats removed, tears in their eyes. And when the anthem stops, an enormous round of applause, not just for the band, but for the nation. That’s what America is all about. The people. It’s a nation with the people, for the people, and by the people. Because America isn’t a thing, it’s an idea. An idea that everyone no matter race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation can live free and safe. God bless America!
