This was such an emotional video to watch & I felt so much pride for all of you Americans. What a national anthem! Really honoured to have been apart of the understanding on what your country went through and how beautiful the meaning of your flag is. ❤️
Thank you Millie! I appreciate you and Beesley reacting to that as I'm sure you may know that today is Veterans Day over here and as a veteran myself (8 years active duty U.S.Air Force) I enjoyed seeing it!
@@scott5647 as a human being, I thank you for your service ❤️
@@millie0804 Thank you :)
I loved your emotional reaction to this. My ancestors didn’t arrive in America till the late 1800’s from England….so we are all connected ❤️
God save our gracious Queen. long live our noble Queen. God save the Queen. Send her victorious, happy and glorious. Long to reign over us. God save the Queen.
“Our flag doesn’t fly because the wind that moves it. It flies with the breath of every fallen solider who protected it.”
This!
DOL/RLTW HOOOOAHHHHHH
Amen!
And it was held up by the first army rangers,...... rogers rangers,,.. rangers were the only soldiers that wore green to blend in woods,.. 1812 also known as the french and indian war,, british joined the fight and burnt the first white house down,,.. the indians were with the british and some indians helped french with the Americans ,,.. we were helping the french and fighting our own war at the same time,,.. and fort Henry was a pivotal striking point,,,.. would give them access to the newyork finger lakes and water ways,,.. after all the shelling,.. we still took back the fort,,..
That quote is beautiful and true, I love that! who said it if I may ask?
The thing that some of us tend to forget is that the flag represents an ideal not the current state we find ourselves in. That idea, that vision, that freedom is worth fighting for.
Amen!!!❤
I like to phrase it "America is much better on paper, than we currently are. On paper, we're pretty awesome, but our people are getting pretty shitty."
Let’s go!
@@latentgamer5762
hmmm. It's not that our people are getting sh*tty.... It's that through political corruption - our elected leaders don't have the character of our forefathers. Remember when voting rights were tied to "selective service"? Well now we have politicians skewing immigration laws to get numbers in votes. Now we're so far down the "rabbit hole", I don't know how we'll ever get back....
@@cashscience there is a way back, I just hope we self correct before it happens
This needs to be broadcast on every television, every radio, and every listening device in the USA to remind people just how blessed we really are to be Americans
Here in Pennsylvania where I am there is a radio station that plays this story at noon everyday
Can’t do that because you will seriously anger the democrats in government !!
You can’t do that because you will anger every Democrat I our government ! They are for themselves and any country that is our enemy !!
It should also be taught in our schools.
I’m 81+ years old and remember starting the day off at school, but biding the pledge of allegiance.
What a shame and disgrace that it’s no longer the case. Once again caving in to the demonic realm that is so prevalent throughout America…. God is watching and will judge accordingly.
@@luvjd30 The blessed flag, ole glory is the heartbeat of America.❤
I wish more "Americans" these days would watch this video and understand what it means to be an AMERICAN. Thank you for sharing. I watched this with my 10yo son and he asked me... "is this why you cry during the song?" I had to tell him yes but your father has lost good friends in the name of freedom, that's why I cry. I watched this on memorial day weekend, and it hit hard. Thank you for posting this video. I hope more see it.
I cry during the song or when the flag passes in a parade, but this story is 80% fabricated, people deserve to know they were lied to by an overzealous preacher.
Were you there?@@TheBensMeister
@@gingin294you believe what’s in the Bible? Were you there?
This is totally made up….what an imagination!!!
First of all, it's about the spirit of the people & how they feel about the flag, but also it is not 'totally made up'! Some of the facts are off, and he acknowledges that, but more along the lines of leaving out the US victory and the minimal loss of life at the fort - and the reason key remained on the ship. From wiki, "Around 1,500 to 1,800 bomb shells and over 700 rockets were fired at the fort but with minimal casualties and damage being done. Four men died and 24 were wounded in the fort. The ships were forced to fire from their maximum range (with minimal accuracy) to stay out of range of the fort's formidable cannon fire.
Key was inspired by the U.S. victory and the sight of the large U.S. flag flying triumphantly above the fort. "
Look it up for yourself.
As an American, a Christian and a veteran of the US ARMY it is hard for me not to bawl like a baby listening to this
Me too
I right there with you! As such, I try to be patient when I have to go for a doctor's appointment at the VA hospital...they don't make it easy.
You're right, sir.
Right in the feels man
Because the person who made the video made it all up. With a sprinkling of half truths. Key was there to negotiate only for his dr friend’s release not the troops. He was not on the British ship during the fighting. The flag was not held up by bodies. He was held on his own ship until fighting was over because he knew too much about their ship strength. He wrote a poem which was torn apart by someone else and set to a song from a hymn.
This country was built on faith and blood. Something so many take for granted.
Amen 🙏🏻
Yes
This country was built on slavery, white power and killing native Americans..
The country was founded on Freedom of Religion not on being forced to follow Christian Nationalism! They fought for the ability to govern themselves and not be ruled by a KING!! Now MAGA and Project 2025 want to turn our president back into a king!!
I still put my hand over my heart and cry when singing our national anthem. I love my country
Alone in my home late at night, I stood with hand on heart for it. It could never be not so.
Me too
@@Lordvestage1313 Agreed. Kind of sad that when the Anthem is playing only me and a few others in the stadium sing all the words and know the meaning.
I as well! I’m so blessed and proud to be an American!
🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day America 🇺🇸 July 4, 2024
...and to think we currently have political prisoners held in Washington DC and across our great nation.
Free the J6 Political Hostages!!!

How refreshing for young Brits appreciating American patriotism
Yes bless you both 🙏
@@maryhudgins9133 Thank you so much! Bless you Brits . We love you all here in America.GOD Bless You All❤️🇺🇸☝🏼
I just love the quote “I’ll die on my feet before I live on my knees”, nothing sends a clearer message with so few words.
It's absolutely true too.

It didn't work for the slaves-- slaveholders would rather kill them than let them be free...
It didn't work for the slaves-- as slaveholders would rather kill them than let them be free.
@@gesica8680 The slaves were freed, weren't they? Must have worked.
@@gesica8680 What a bunch of Malarkey - you're yet another person who doesn't know history.
Slaves, early on, were criminals, who were sold by their own people because their actions made them undesirable to the community. Later on, slaves were still sold by people of the same skin color, but they were sold by neighboring tribes, who would raid villages, capture people, keep their goods, and sell the captives to slavers. Now here is where it gets interesting.
Many slaves did die on their feet, rather than live on their knees. Others endured slavery for a time, only to escape to freedom later on, or (in some cases) to earn their freedom. Early in American history, one young "black" (none of us are truly black or white, or yellow or red) man became a Christian, converted his master to Christianity, and bought both his and his brother's freedom. He later founded one of the earliest churches in post-Revolutionary war, pre-Civil war, America, and at least one of its members was a Founding Father, Benjamin Rush, if I correctly recall. Further, all of the Founding Fathers recognized that slavery was incompatible with the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. Washington not only freed his slaves, but directed that his estate be used to provide a starting point for their freed existence (similar to laws in the Bible directing a master to provide for a freed servant). He may also have been the Founding Father who wrote that it is not right to enslave men, but once you have slaves it is not right to free them UNTIL you can also provide, with their freedom, resources for them to ensure their own well-being and success (paraphrased, I don't remember the exact quote). One of the Founding Fathers not only freed his slaves on his deathbed, but held a local white doctor prisoner on the day he was dying, in order to ensure that no man could say that he changed his mind on his deathbed about freeing his slaves. Very few Americans, even in the South, owned slaves, and there were black Americans who owned slaves or held office prior to the Civil war.
It kills me inside to know how much others respect this story, while half of America these days don’t respect it at all. People feel violated for just seeing it. I’ll never turn my back on that icon, and I’ll always fight against those who do.
Me too....
Just look at how immigrants feel about America and the flag to tell you what’s real. For all its issues, there isn’t a better, cooler, country. Maybe better, but not cooler as well 😎🙌🤣
Nerd
Agreed. Too many of us don't see just how good we have it here. And because of that we've forgotten the price that's been paid to keep our freedoms which is dangerous territory. Are we perfect? No, but we continually try to become better.
America is also proud to be the nation that ended slavery. Slavery is common in human history and still exist in some parts of the world. The land of the free ended slavery and set the slaves free.
I am a teacher. I teach high school. I happened to be out of my room unexpectedly when school started and upon returning while the pledge was going on I was not too sure what the kids would be doing on their own so I sneaked up. They were all up and hands on hearts reciting it.
THAT is INCREDIBLE in this day and age!! thank you for sharing that marvelous story!!!
That would have choked me up ...bloody marvelous!!!😂🎉🎉
That is really great to hear.🇺🇸
Teach your children well!
That means you are an amazing teacher!
I am crying . I am so glad I seen this video. Americans are not happy right now but I would bet the farm if someone attacked us we would all put our differences away and fight side by side. Thank you for this video. Every American should see this.
I hope so, but the treacherous left is kissing the enemy with delight. You can see them in campuses, the streets, the WH.
I didn’t see this until evening news shows started to air, but on the afternoon of September 11, 2001, we did exactly that. We weren’t fighting against an enemy, but so many of us were lined up outside of blood donation centers, patiently waiting to do what we could. Friends were made in those lines, as people of Oklahoma City (my residence then), who had never known one another accepted one another, though of differing outward colors and hues, because we shared our blood color, and a common county. Being unable to move our blood to those injured, we fully expected the blood collectors to find where it was needed and transport it to the right place.
None of us were hyphenated-Americans that day.
We were family.
Amen sister 🙏
Amen! To the last man, woman, and child…
That Flag means every freedom we enjoy. DON'T EVER GIVE UP. IF,YOU HAVE TIME READ WHAT THE SIGNERS OF THE DECLARATION GAVE UP BECAUSE THEY SIGHED.THEY
HAD TARGETS ON THEIR AND
THEIRS FAMILIES BACKS
I can never not cry whenever I hear it. I might have been born in Mexico but this country took me in and I will always bleed red, white and blue because this IS the land of the free and brave. 🇺🇲
My father was born and spent the early part of his life in Cuba, and what you said brought tears to my eyes because my father was the same way. He came to the States (Miami) and after HS, he joined the US Army and moved through the ranks to 1st Lieutenant and served in Viet Nam and was wounded in combat. Amen to all that make America their home and I only wish every Natural born citizen understood what it takes to come here from their country. Thank you.
You're more of an American than a lot born here, welcome, this was always your home.
I grew up in El Salvador... but moved here when I was 17. Ten years later, with a degree and family, I kept referring to El Salvador as 'my country' but it was my American friends who said "this is your country" I never felt more welcome and proud to be an American. Americans are not racist as the current media constantly says. This is the greatest country in earth because everyone has the same freedoms, the same equalities, the same opportunities, the same love for this country. America: land of the free, home of the brave!!
@@ts5097
I’m sure some knuckleheads are Racist but to hell with them. Glad you’re here!
We appreciate you.
"Die on my feet before i live on my knees" still runs deep in us. You did a great job honoring our flag and country. God bless you and God bless Britain.
There is only one modern ex president who doesn’t know any of the words to it.
Today Americans stand by as they closed churches and took away freedom but the story sounds good.
I agree that for better or worse most Americans have it in us. I believe it is part of what is causing the great divide between people nowadays. It leads us not to want to compromise with each side seemingly becoming more radical over time for quite awhile now.
What is truly wonderful is that from that time forward the British and Americans have stood together, brothers and sisters together, shoulder to shoulder against many a conflict in the world. Thank you for honoring our national anthem, flag and spirit.
Agreed! ❤
Our flag doesn't fly with the wind. It flies with the breath of ever patriot who protected it.
American history was barely taught in our schools and as a 62 year old American, I have never heard this amazing story. Thank you for bringing to the next generation this beautiful truth of our history. 🙏🏽 ❤ 🇺🇸
@@TracyB-dn7jy you didn't hear it because this guy made it up based on an outline of facts: Francis Scot Key, Star Spangled Banner, War, Fort, Flag, Boat, Bombs. The rest was this guy's imagination. Literally nothing else was correct. But fiction can be inspiring, I think the story of Lord of the Rings is inspiring.
I think the main point is important and that is they did not surrender and the flag remained.🇺🇸
@@rhondafarrow6235 I'm not going to look past a haystack of bull to find a needle of a main point. Yes, the flag was still there, and thank goodness it was. The pile of bodies, the huge fleet of ships, the men below deck all were NOT there. It's dishonest.
American history was taught in the schools I went to, however that's the first time I heard that one and it makes the national anthem have more sense to me now. I don't join everybody's cause and follow people like a stupid lamb. I will say that I do follow the lamb and that lamb is Christ. I once was a soldier in the United States army, but now I am a soldier in in God's army. And I am not ashamed to be on my knees before Jesus because that's where my power comes from. But it's better than being on your knees before dictators and greedy Kings like King George III. I know King George the third is long dead but his Spirit lives on through other people the spirit of the devil. It's not money that is the root of all evil it is the love of money that is the root of all evil. It's called greed. Then there is pride pride has caused a lot of wars end fist fights and murders because somebody can't back down when they're wrong when they know they are wrong. Pride cometh before contention and a haughty spirit before a fall. Just to think there are soldiers out there that died on the battlefield for me be able to say these things and not be brought before a Justice and then put in chains and hung the next day.
@TheBensMeister yes, this was dramatized, but where is it factually incorrect?
As a 56 yr old American, my right hand still lays over my heart and tears still stream down my face whenever I hear our anthem. God Bless America 🇺🇸
Yep! My right hand was over my heart as if played.
Please protect that America, the ideal of what it stand for by voting this year ❤ don't ever allow this ideal to be mistreated or corrupted by money of fake wannabe-billionaires.
Same, most beautiful song ever written
Same here. Because of all the brave men and women, we are free. GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸 🙏 ❤️
Me to! My feels overflow out of my eyes to 🥹
i was a C-130 crewman at an airshow in NC in the 70s. We were giving tours of our plane to the public. A little girl gave me one of those small flags on a stick. I put that flag in the ankle pocket of my flight suit and it flew with me for 24 years and several wars. It went to all 50 states and was over the crash site when KAL 007 was shot down in Russian waters. There was a picture in newsweek of us showing the flag to russian interceptors when they flew close. It went to Panama, Desert Storm , Bosnia, and several evacuations of Americans. I often think of that girl later on watching headline news and not knowing that flag was there. God bless that little girl it was my lucky charm.
Thank you for your service !
Wow ~ what an amazing testimony! God bless you bluskytoo!
Thank you for your service Sir.
I have no words to tell of my gratitude for your faithful service to our great nation. Thank you for sharing this, and may GOD continue to bless you is my prayer.
Amen🙏 God Bless you and that little girl and your comrades...Thank all of you for your service, your honor to our country, our flag, our freedom. My older brother did 3 tours in Vietnam. My father was from Toronto Canada. He joined the U.S. Navy and fought during WWII. I'm proud to be an American. I have the utmost respect for the brave women and men that serve for the protection of our country🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😍
84 years old and have heard this song and this particular rendition more times than I can count but, once again the tears are streaming down my cheeks. Thank you, both, for this.
Thank you for your service!
Part of the War of 1812. I love this story. During the War of 1812 - 1814, the British soldiers attacked the White House right after President Madison and his wife Dolley got wind they were coming. Dolley grabbed the silver, the Gilbert Stuart portrait of George Washington, and a copy of the Declaration of Independence and they fled the scene. When the soldiers got there they found the meal that had been spread out for those who had fled, so they polished off the meal and set about destroying Washington DC by setting fires in government buildings. A good blaze was eating up the city when a large, very dark storm that lasted for two hours came up, and it is believed a tornado touched down right in the center of the conflagration and all the rain put out the fires. The storms on the east coast were not like the more gentle storms of England, so the soldiers were quite frightened and vacated the city. The British Admiral leading the troops away told a lady that God was destroying Washington DC and she replied, "No, He is saving it!" What a great intervention by God. He saved the USA then and He will save the country again! Hold the line for God and Country.
Great story! I have never heard that before. I would guess that it is slightly embellished but that the principle of it with the rain putting out the fire could be totally true. Praying that God will save us from the people that are trying to tear apart our country now.🙏🗽🇺🇸
The amount of respect shown by these two wonderful Brits for the American flag and the history of the American National Anthem is incredible. I wish Americans that take our freedoms for granted (what feels like most of the population) had half of your common sense, compassion, and humility. Thank you for making this video. You are amazing examples of peace and kindness.
Very well said. My thoughts exactly! God Bless!💖🙏💖
I agree 100 percent it just plain sickens me the amount of disrespect that people have for our flag and country ,but sadly the men and women that sacrificed and died to protect that flag so that we have the freedoms that we have allows them the right to disrespect it as sad as it is
We are not the America I remember. Wealth and greed has driven us to our knees and is tearing us apart, just as the greed wishes.
So true! Tremendous respect. ❤️
A million times this!
Even as a Vietnamese-American, I am a super proud Citizen. And it pisses me off to see people teach our children and future to hate our great nation. But…. Thank you guys for showing the love and so you know, we have mad love for you guys too!!!! What our great nations went through and where we are today speaks value and how we love our fellow humans. 🤗👊🏽💪🏽👍🏽🙏🏽
well said brother
🇺🇸
It's heartwarming to know other Americans feel this way !
In 1812 English Navy was the largest in the WORLD!!!!!! Do they not teach history in school anymore???
Sounds like you make a great citizen, thanks for being here. You're the kind of person we want here.
I love my country, not my government, but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE AMERICA!
My thoughts exactly. Thankfully there is at least one other person feels the way I do. Thank You.
That is why, even to this day, you never let a flag fall. It is disrespectful to lay a flag down.
More specifivally and to be clear,......You don't let it touch the ground.❤
this is why we get so mad when people disrespect our flag. our flag isn't just a flag it's our symbol for the sacrifices our men and women have made for us. the ones who lost their lives will always be remembered through our flag.
Old glory have covered the coffins of at least 20 of my family members, with 12 more to also be covered by old glory when they pass. It is more than a flag. It represents the last full measure many paid in war, and for some, it is all we have left of our family members. Im beyond proud of my beloved Old Glory, and will gladly lay down my life to save it
The beauty of freedom is that we can disrespect the flag...when you see someone burning the flag one should never feel anger but pride that freedom allows it.
@@danglinghenry8108 it all depends on how it is burned and treated. You are right people can disrespect the flag but at the same time its still wrong. There are proper ways to burn the flag
@@danglinghenry8108
It is better to remain silent and let people think you are dumb, than to speak (or post) and prove that you are stupid.
@@theresaalexander4142 they are right. Though it may piss off others, they wont be arrested or executed for burning the flag like they would be in other countries. Granted you burn my beloved flag in a disrespectful manor, ill gladly go to jail for kicking their ass. But the fact is that we are still free to burn the flag without fear of death or imprisonment by the government
As a Marine, I’ve see “the rockets red glare” and heard “the bombs bursting in air” and that part gets me emotional every time.
Thank for your service! 🇺🇸
Amen! God bless you Swat3Four! 💌
Thank you for that part of your life that you so willingly gave to all of us by choosing to serve our nation. Forever love and gratitude...
God bless you Marine! Thank you for standing on that line for me!
Same, Sir. Thank you for your service.
I still can’t help but put my hand over my heart and sing this song and look up on the flag without crying. I’m 72 and it’s still feels the same. Thank you for playing this. Hopefully others will see it and know how important and proud we are of it.
I can not hear The Star Spangled Banner without tears flowing freely. God has truly blessed America. Unfortunately under the present administration we are in danger of losing it all. Brave Americans - stand up and defend her or lose her. God grant us the courage to keep our freedom! "Land of the free, home of the brave"!
You never fully understand the love and respect we have for our flag until it’s draped over the coffin of a fallen Soldier, Airman, Sailor, or Marine. Having to bury someone I love and watching his Mother and Father hugging the flag they took off of his coffin as if it were him was heartbreaking and humbling. There has never been a time where I hear my National Anthem and I don’t get goosebumps or cry. We are a proud Nation…and always will be. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
As a United States Marine Corps Veteran, I still to this day will defend our Flag with my life, so help me God ! 🇺🇸 Semper Fidelis !🇺🇸
SEMPER FI MARINE!!! I will see you in Valhalla brother
The people not the government. Respect
Once a Marine, always a Marine. Semper Fi!

@@patrickharris211 im twenty, ive been to jail, i have one felony. I want in, because soon i will have to stand against The Powers that Be. Can you tell me how ?
The last time I lost it with the playing of our national anthem is when right after 9/11 your Queen had the royal band play it I believe in Buckingham courtyard. I couldn't stop crying!! The Queen was such a remarkable leader.❤
The Queen was a special Lady and a tremendous leader for sure. During her reign, she made the world a better place, and September 8, 2022, was a sad day for the world.
I saw that. Think that was last time I heard it.
I lose it every time.
And do you remember that England ended the annual Proms celebration with a lovely presentation of a very sad song out of respect for the lives that were lost.
Amen
Thank you for sharing our song. Its what our country stands for and so proud to see it fly! Thank you again!
I am a Navy Veteran and I was so proud to have served my country and given the opportunity to see the world. One thing I took from my travels in the Navy is the true appreciation of being simply an AMERICAN.
Thank you for your service!
We still love the Brits. It's a testament to our American spirit that we can forgive and progress.
we're best friends. that's always impressed me.
@@mrinvaderlol right they wanted to completely destroy us and we forgave them while other countries didn’t have it as bad as us and we still love our mother country
yeah they rule
Yeah we were allies of the Brits in WWI and WWII and we transported thousands of tons of supplies so the British population wouldn't starve during the U-boat blockades.
@Oscar-ws3mf yup, families fight but still support each other.
The way our flag is being treated by our own citizens these days is heartbreaking. It was so lovely to see young people (and Brits, at that::-) appreciate and be touched. I fear for America these days and pray we course correct. xo
poppycock. a few, very few. Shape up, we just survived a coup attempt by some crazies, and they will be back unless their leaders are caught or they flee to Russia. 18 US Code 15-12, and the 14th amendment, section 3 provides for the humane punishment of insurrectionists. General Washington wanted to hang them but unfortunately he did not get his way.
@@davidsnedeker8098 The true insurrectionists are in the Whitehouse and you know it. Ask yourself why the Democrats in Congress had the law for that code of treason changed on how to punish those guilty from public hanging to imprisonment instead. They know they were committing treason and were going to commit some more.
@@kaede1960 thank you.
He's a troll.
If there is a better place to live then why is he or they still here?
Maybe it's the oh so generous welfare system.
Nevermind those who burned businesses down as well as police stations and federal buildings, all the looting, the destruction and the murders of black people by those screaming black lives matter. Those were all dubbed heroes by the true insurrectionists aka politicians. Those are the same people, white politicians, who pocketed every black lives matter dime. None of that went to any BLM cause. The cause was division of the people, ALL PEOPLE, to confuse them so they couldn't organize to remove the filthy politicians.
This is not the Divided States of America, as they so tried. This is the United States of America.
If people don't like it they can stop accepting the welfare handouts and go live elsewhere.
@@ginaberrie2608 I suspect many actually work for the CCP. Much of what's been going on all over the world is a war being played out against western civilization. All of this stuff has been planned and some of these planners are our own people.

One of the traditions of the American flag is to never let it touch the ground. Makes sense in light of this battle. Very touching. Thank you.
As an American, I loved this video.
Thank you, very much.
I was born in The Bahamas (Brtish) and became an American Citizen in 2000, and when they handed me my Citizenship Documents and my American Flag, I’ve never been more proud. I love this presentation.

Every human yearns to be free and America is a symbol, a shining beacon of freedom for the whole world.
If only our own citizens would respect and honor Old Glory like these two young Brits! God Bless you two and give you peace.
A few months ago I came across a video of “The Star Spangled Banner” being played at Buckingham Palace on 9/11! And the British people were singing along! It was very touching!
I saw the same thing a few weeks back..I'm a 58 yr male born and raised in Los Angeles..first time in a while I was brought to tears by a video..they should to a reaction video to that
I saw that too... makes me cry every single time!
I love my Cousins across the Pond .. 🇺🇸🇬🇧❤💯
Whitney Huston sang this at the Superbowl 1991 I believe, you must watch it, Best version I've ever heard, 🇺🇸🇬🇧
isn't it done to the same tune as "God Save the Queen"? so maybe they were singing the words to that lol or maybe they did know the words. just wondering if you paid attention to what they were actually saying.
Just stumbled upon this video. I’m in tears. I have two ancestors who fought in the American Revolution. I was taught growing up to always remember that America is the home of the free and the land of the brave and I should be grateful to my ancestors and others who went up against the greatest military the world had ever known for me, their descendant, to be free. My parents said to always remember this as freedom isn’t free and we needed to stay brave to continue to keep America a melting pot of free men (and woman). ❤ Thank you for sharing this, and yes, the American Flag is to NEVER tough the ground. Even when people are changing their flags in their front yard, the whole family usually helps to make sure there is no accident where the flag hits the earth. Mad respect.
Thank you so very much for this video. Seeing how emotional it made the both of you made me even more proud to be an American. Your kind and honest words are appreciated and will never be forgotten. I have great respect for you and your country and am honored to have watched this tribute. God bless you
I'm an American military veteran. I cannot hear the anthem without choking up. I will defend the flag unto my death to honor my ancestors and the people I have lost in service to the ideals held dear within the constitution.
Thank you for your service! I feel the same way
Thank you for serving our country! I kind of don't like saying "for" serving because once a Vet always a Vet. I know you'll "always" uphold our American values 🙂 and always be serving in other ways. I hope all children in the USA will continue to be taught to write and read cursive in elementary school. Our Declaration of Independence was written in english Cursive. They have stopped teaching this in some classrooms. So now children can't read the Document and therefore don't know our ideals, laws, and freedoms that were written in it.
Thank you, sir, for your service!! ❤
Absolutely brother. I will hold that flag up off the ground with my last dying breathe!
TC38Cole thank you for your service
"I'm not an American, but I feel proud!" I think that's because, while this may have specifically been about the American experience at the time, it more broadly describes the spirit of all humanity - none of us were born to be subservient to an arbitrary power.
Well said!
Over half of the people here have no clue to it's meaning or even the words. Seeing the reaction of people from other countries just blows my mind. I think that right now during this pandemic, with all the restrictions and mandates, everyone can relate to this idea...FIGHT OR DIE FOR YOUR FREEDOM because it will come at a price. Thank you for the video and I AM proud to be an American.
Amen Rod, this is most certainly true.
AMEN!
So sad that many Americans are being deceived to hate their country because of its flaws when they are imperfect individuals themselves.
I just came across this video this morning. Thank you for honoring our National Anthem and sharing our pride in our flag. We sure aren't perfect, but we love our country, through its ups and downs.
This video should be shown in EVERY classroom in the United States!
"It is better to die on your feet than live on your knees." True Americans will stand by Her and never waiver.
There is no other choice.
there are many more of us than there are of them. freedom is never been free not then and not now .we the people are waiting and watching .the american patriots have never been more ready to fight and die fort the freedom of our children and their children to come .it is time to once again defend this land of the free and home of the brave patriots who will never let anything take that from us.they will soon realize this

Don't blame your country for it. Be proud of your country. You don't have to be proud of the bad time's, but be proud of the fact that your country has been on the side of good for a long time.
Without your country, just as without the United States, our world would be a much worse place for all.
There is still a lot of work to be done, and it's up to you youngsters to do it.
@@leebrock4783 well if you really can't figure that out for yourself ... smh
"I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees" Amen! My flag is out flying all this week for President's Day. ❤from Texas
I've said George Washington's quote to people more in the past 2 years than I have my entire life. I feel we will be defending our flag once again soon. As long as the devil rules the world there will be attacks on Christian nations.
Candy, my grandfather, my uncle, my cousin, my father and my brother served in the military, and I was literally raised on that quote. I was born on a military base and raised in the ARMY. I've always had a flag on my front porch, and so do most of my neighbors. Some have 12 foot flag poles with lights.
It's a blessing to live in Texas! God bless you!
Washington NEVER said that. Ever. His own library and estate calls it a "spurious" quote, made up long after he was dead (like many of the other "famous" quotes from our first president). If you want to use those words, go ahead. Just don't pretend that they're Washington's, or any other founding father's.
@@ericblair6046 Yes your right. Just presidents told it to the ppl once tyrants started there squeeze for more government and less freedom. I'm quite sure many used it during the last 246 years. I like the way Roosevelt stated it in his speech.
Yep well said Die
Standing on your
Feet.
This old American Soldier always salutes when it's played. When Her Majesty had our anthem played after 9/11, it was such a touching tribute to see our British cousins supporting us.
Just stumbled on this video… although this was first shown 2 yrs ago ! I am totally proud of this young couple 🇺🇸and yes crying out loud. Our Flag IS STILL STANDING!!! And to be a proud American in this political Climate . Means more than anyone could possibly know. We Must Stand and respect our Country and Our Flag.!!!
I am proud to be an American. Maybe a little ashamed at what is running our country today, but I still love this nation and am thankful for every person that has died to protect it. When I see people burning this flag it makes me cry for all those souls who gave us the rights we have. I would dare say many Americans today do not even know the story behind our anthem but for us that do we will continue to be thankful for people like you who share this story. May you be blessed and thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing a little of our story.
You ever notice that those traitors that throw our flag on the ground, step on and, in some cases, worse than that and burn it, you never see behavior like that in a small town. Just like that country song that had the crazy liberals panties in a bunch, "Try That In A Small Town". Only in big city, liberal landscapes, can they get away with that without getting themselves hurt. "Small Town America" WILL NOT tolerate it. I love this great nation. Big THANK YOU to all current, former and fallen military/patriots. 👍🇺🇸
I’m a former Army Medic and I believe every man and woman in uniform or veteran are still holding our beloved flag up. Never turn your back on freedom. It isn’t free !!
Freedom has a price.!! A big one doesn’t it??!!

Thank you to our British Cousins for sharing this! God bless America and God Bless Great Britain during this time we are going through now IN JUNE OF 2024! Amen
I wasn't born in America, but came here as soon as I could. I became an American citizen, and I swore allegiance to this amazing country with all my heart. I would definitely die for America, for it gave me so much. Words cannot express how grateful I am to the USA. It made me who I am today, and I love it as my home. God bless America today and always.
From a Retired US Marine, I can appreciate this video and the two wonderful Brits that made it. I have lost fellow Marines in Combat and seen their bodies wrapped in that beautiful flag. I wish all Americans appreciated the sacrifice of people who bled for its meaning. Thank you for honoring our flag, thank you for honoring our country, and thank you for honoring our men and women who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for freedom.
Thank you for your service!
Both my mom & dad were Marines. My parent’s flags are placed w my husband’s grandfather’s flag. He fought in the trenches in WWI.
Dad was in Korea then later in Vietnam until he came back stateside to train new recruits & teach until he retired. Afterward, he went into the police academy. Even as an old man, he didn’t know how ‘not to serve.’ He became a volunteer firefighter as an old man. Despite placement of multiple stents, he worked his back into the firehouse. (his firehouse colleagues found him collapsed on the side of the road with his five dogs more than halfway through his daily 5-mile daily walk) It wasn’t until he was diagnosed w glaucoma that he couldn’t return. Dad passed away a few years later. I know men/women in other military branches are strong people, but it seems that Marines are built just a bit stronger. Although, I’m sure that I’m more than a bit biased. Mom was just as hardcore as Dad. ☺️
Oorah!
thank you so much for your service ..
-- it breaks my heart to see what has happened to our country and it so hurts that so many have died for the freedoms that the majority don't seem to care enough about to do something about the state that we are in today. - We have allowed them to teach our children lies, and so many only think of themselves, .... their own comfort is all that seems to matter.......
God bless those that have fallen and we are so thankful for your service to our country! Thank you!
I am originally from the UK, but I am proud to call myself an American now.
A lot of British people see it as odd that we fly flags everywhere here, and even scornfuly accuse us of 'worshipping' the flag.
That is missing the point entirely. We don't 'worship' the flag, we cherish what the flag represents.
exactly!
Very true. And welcome!!
It's not about the cloth it's about the people that gave all for that cloth
Exactly
Exactly
I just found this channel. I appreciate the love and generosity you've shown us Americans.
I'm 67 years old. I started 1st grade during the Vietnam War. We were taught about war, and how important and special our freedom was in the US. That Communists wanted to rule the world and we'd no longer be free.Our flag would no longer be flown. I remember how proud I was to sing this song every morning after the bell and say the Pledge of Allegience.Now I'm watching it being destroyed by my own countrymen for their own greed. My heart is destroyed!!!
To see two British young people, get emotional over our Star Spangled Banner made me tear up! Thank you for caring about our flag :)
It's not just about OUR FLAG, it's about our country and the prices paid to keep it free!! RED, WHITE, AND BLUE!!
@@suzanneadams7321 You will not get an argument from me dear, Suzanne!! 100% agree!!

@@kacyeleightly8838 i can say that I've held the video they referenced in high regard since i discovered it and shared it with my friends. By the way I'm only 27 hope that restores some faith in the American young.
@@shadowking224 thanks Nathan, that’s great. Keep sharing the video it’s a good one.
As an American, I wish we'd sing the fourth verse of Mr. Key's lyrics more often.
"Oh thus may it ever, while free men shall stand, between their loved homes and the war's desolation
Speak of victory and Peace. May the Heaven-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.
Yes. I was about 18 the first time I heard the last verse. One of the most moving things I'd heard, before or in the decades since.
That’s my favorite verse!
What about the third verse? The one about hunting and killing slaves? Or is that still going to be ignored like half this country's history?
I NEVER knew there were more verses!!! 😢😢
@@kcbabThe 'slaves' were Americans forced to man British warships against their brothers, who chose to live on their knees rather than die on their feet.
This was understood until this generation when some academic decided he could get more grant money by making folks hate each other.
I’m a 75 year old patriotic American woman and I have never heard this story. 😢. Thank you! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
0:16 the accuracy is a mutte point. This is our National Epic, this is our Illiad
"Yeah sorry, that wasn't us"
As an American I know I can speak for most of us when I say we would never blame YOU for what happened in the past.. As Americans we are judged by our past as if we were there and participated..
In other words.. I am so happy to see a British couple really embodying the American spirit.. you understand it better then most just by this reaction. It was beautiful.. thank you. And as a side note, we joke alot about the British but we love you the people 😊
👏 👏 👏
Ye bro people judge us just because we’re American idk why. Why people so nationalism
It's interesting that so many countries still hold grudges against one another for what they did to each other in their history. But we never really hold the American revolution against the British and vice versa. I mean sure we still poke fun at one another like how siblings do and actually sure I do see instagram post from people from the UK posting "Happy Treason day" on the 4th of July. But that's as a joke. I'm quite good friends with those who do post things like that.
@@FryedCat0 Well it's because we're kind of so isolated form the rest of the world that we are seen as ignorant, and to be honest it's true. My own mother didn't know that half of Europe existed. Some of my friends are just terrible with their history and mistake the French flag with the Dutch flag. They wouldn't really be able to locate where the Czech Republic is. And from personal observation it's no joke that Americans think Scottish and Irish are the same. It's only to those who aren't though.
AMEN! IT WAS A GOVT. AND ITS LEADERS! NOT THE PEOPLE! SAME HERE!!
I salute my British friends for this beautiful presentation of the “Star Spangled Banner”
You guys are absolutely wonderful young people. I am 51 years of age and I have always considered myself a patriot. I have a family full of patriots who have served. After 9/11 I was denied the honor of serving my country due to a reconstructed shoulder joint. I love the fact that someone of your age can share this with humility, respect, and understanding. My prayer is that you were given no grief from your country men, but were inspired by you actions. Thank you so much for sharing this, and educating me about my country's history.
God Bless you & God Bless America
We appreciate your kind words and it brings me joy to see the emotions you had listening to our anthem!! Thank you!! 💥💥💥
As a Canadian, I have always, even as a child, felt a genuine love for the USA 🇺🇸... I used to cross the border and feel like I was home (my mom hated me saying that lol).
But to this day I had NO IDEA this is what the National Anthem meant and it just took 2 young Brits to shine the light on this! 💙 All choked up here... I sure hope those prayers can still be heard in these dire times as freedom is once again on the line...
We need your prayers and agreement for a country that was really to be an example of how the rest of the world should try to put into action in their own countries. It would be lovely to have the world like the U S but right now we can all see the distress of nations. As an American, I get excited to see the protests around the world and think, I need to join them. Let us all join together for our children and for tomorrow. I think the world is waking up!
We love you back. Truly ❤️
@@giveittomikey17 All this love and positivity and you had to try to make it negative. That’s so sad. We have a great country, stop trying to tear it down to try to make you look superior.
Thank you, God bless you
I hear February is going to be pretty interesting. :)
Standing in a US Military uniform, saluting the "Red, White, and Blue", while the National Anthem is played, is probably one of the emotional events in my life. 35 years later, I will still lay my life down for "Ole' Glory". God Bless America and all that stand for her.
I am a Grandma and I would be on the front line if needed to give my Grandbabies the same freedoms we had when we were growing up. Too bad Americans werent paying attention and let the enemies slither their way into our government! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲❤🦅🦅🦅❤🦅
Agreed. As lame as it is, I still go to POA and everything when it plays at games. It's my little way of remembering my service, my time in Afghanistan, all the awesome people I met and places I went, and slowing my respect to the country for everything it stands for and all that it has done for me. I can genuinely say everything I have today can be directly or indirectly tied to my time in the Marine Corps. Even my wife and kids wouldn't be here without it.
And for all the same reason, I get just as embarrassingly patriotic when the Marine Corps Hymn plays as well. Too many guys get out and dwell on the negatives too much. All they remember is the bad times, and sometimes they need a reminder of what they've earned.
Respect..
Semper fi

As a Brit i am always in complete awe of the patriotism of Americans, and how proud and strongly that runs deep.
The quote 'I'll die on my feet, before living on my knees' has to me never felt more emotional and true, than when i have visited and happen to be in crowds of people singing and fighting for their country and freedoms. Which i was honoured to be part of.
God bless to all my American cousins across the pond.
You Brits have always been first to our side whenever we have been threatened.
I love you all, and I love your loyalty to America who will stand by you forever.
We may be slow to wake, but our wrath has no proportionality.
If some mad midget from Moscow comes after you, may God Almighty have mercy on them, for we surely will not.
God Bless Great Britain

Any American natural born or immigrant worth their salt knows what the flag stands for and disregards the current political climate around it. The pride we feel for that flag is indescribable and I for one will fly Old Glory till the day I die.

@@nuttybar9 I'm a centrist and a constitutional patriot. The Constitution of the United States doesn't mention a god once. I'm not surprised that you disagree and called the other person a Communist because the push for Christian Nationalism was a reaction to anti-Communism starting in the Eisenhower administration. By the time McCarthy was doing his witch hunts claiming to be a "christian" whatever that means was almost a requirement for public office. That's despite the fact that Article VI Clause 3 of the actual US Constitution (but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.) The First Amendment's Freedom for State Sponsored Religion was demanded from the Virginia Baptists who didn't want to be made legally required to follow Pennsylvania Quaker or Massachusetts Puritan religious laws. Every sect of christian seems to think that they're "basically mainstream" so none of the things that they'd specifically want are really that much of an imposition on other "real Christians" but that isn't the truth now any more than it was then.
The word on the screen are pictures of the song that Key penned on the spot. As a US Army Vet My body will be cold on the ground before you see my flag that way.
