I first sang this work as a sophomore in high school concert choir, and I knew then the challenge of singing this well to convey its message. It was hard as 15-year-old kid with all the vocal parts, range, balance, blend, and control that was needed to sound amazing. It was such a moving experience to perform, and I remember feeling after the concert, I could not put into words I how I felt because it was so overwhelming. That emotional connection to music that cannot be put into words was so strong, and now hearing this again, takes me right back to those moments. Seeing the young military men and women pour their skill, talent, and passion into this performance for a wonderful man who did so much for America, makes me feel hopeful for the future our of country. Thank you to the USNA Glee Clubs, US Navy Band, D. C. and Washington National Cathedral Choir for this powerful performance and may Senator McCain rest in peace.
I’m singing this tomorrow for my schools concert as a sophomore too! When we rehearse it’s definitely an experience near the end of the song every time. We sing this as a tradition every year so I’m excited to sing it again next year
Damned straight righteous musical rendition! Sing it loud, sing it proud! AWESOME, JUST PLAIN AWESOME! A fitting tribute if ever there was one...Proud to be an American!!! Anchors aweigh! Thank you for your service.
Thank you Senator McCain for your service. You were the best of the best. You were an honorable man, a war hero , a patriot , and we honor you. May your family have peace and know how much we all loved you. I loved the man you were. Politics had nothing to do with how Much I admired you. God bless you and your family.
Senator McCain is one of the few politicians I have the utmost respect for. He wore the uniform defending our great nation against foreign aggression and was one of the few who suffered for it. He finally came home and protected our nation again through politics and I honestly believe he did an outstanding job. At least his track record doesn't reflect getting coffee and donuts or 40 plus years accomplishing absolutely nothing. We are losing the great ones and left with well, what is left after the great ones report to the Supreme Commander. Rest in Peace Senator McCain. You truly deserve it.
Senator John Mc Caine is a Saint he endured 5 years of Solidary Confinement and torture which he endured deep suffering for a brave human being as he is. Sympathy to all his family. We can pray to Senator John Mc Cane as he dwells in heaven Rest in Peace free of pain.
How could Trump think that disrespecting McCain after his death would go well during the election? McCain was one of the only Republicans I respected as a long time Labor voter.
@jntresearch I don’t agree with him as a politician but I do agree with him as a navy man and hero who served our country to the best of his mortal ability
I have no political affiliation at all. I'm a registered voter but I wouldn't go as far as saying voting is on my list of priorities in life. I've known of who John McCain is since high school 40 years ago. When I came across this video couldn't help but shed a tear for Senator McCain. In my book regardless of his political party, John McCain was a hero and a true American patriot. RIP.
I absolutely loved and respected Senator John McCain. I attended 5 his campaign rally in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania when he was running for the presidential seat. I had a long-standing relationship with him over the years. He was a very good friend to my uncle Ted Kennedy and worked with him in the United States senate. I was deeply saddened at his passing. America lost a true patriot and hero on the day that God took him home. Rest in peace,Sir. We have the watch.-💖🇺🇲✨️Admiral LA Kennedy Cuomo
I was able to watch the whole funeral live in the UK, it was a rare Saturday when I had no other commitments. For me the highlight was Joe Lieberman - ruclips.net/video/rqWGW9Rc8Gc/видео.html Was McCain the greatest President the USA never had? He certainly made the current line up look like Ringling Bros clowns!
I did agree with his politics- conservative and with rationality, civility, and respect for all in the arena, and he was an American war hero, and God bless him and the USA. And a pox on little men who would besmirch him. Like You know who.
It is shameful that our duly elected representatives are NOT standing at attention from the beginning and singing loudly in honor of this fallen hero. Shame on each and every one of you...Take note... the voters see you
Maybe the last true patriot in washington! He was genuinely worthy of the oval office and the duties of commander-in-chief! He would have aimed all his skill and abilities on behalf of his country, rather than his next election. A Real Patriot, a Genuine Soldier and Hero of the Republic!
@Grassy Sands how?🤷🏿♂️ That's a line fed to you by your israeli handlers.🎯 👉🏿They re-write history and turn real heroes into vilified enemies and turn your enemies into your beloved hero.👎🏿 Do you have a draft dodger as toir version of hero?❓
This song and the Navy Hymn always get to me. RIP Senator McCain
I have tears in my eyes
A man of honesty, integrity, uprightness, morality, ethics, virtue, principle, probity, rectitude, decency, fairness, trustworthiness, character, and honor.
He is literally in Hell.
despite all of those qualities, it boils down to a simple question: Did he know Jesus as his personal Savior?
Arguable on many of those.
Contrast that to what we have today 😢

This had me in tears.
Now Sen. McCain is in heaven watching over America! God bless America!
Please stop the nonsense.
@@suzannemcmaken4648 Are you related with Sen. Mc Cain?

A gallant and respectable man,warrior, and public servant.

And now he's in Hell where he belongs!
Awesome presentation of the song.
My younger brother 🇬🇧had the honor of being introduced to the late Senator John Mcain 🇺🇸and having a chat with him
You have filled up your duty, at home and abroad, in the Army and in the Senate. Rest in peace.
He was in the Navy, not the Army.
Navy. He served onboard the USS Intrepid CV/CVA/CVS-11, USS Enterprise CVN-65, and USS Forrestal CVA/CV/AVT-59
Fair winds and following seas . . .
Senator John Mc Caine is a Saint he endured 5 years of Solidary Confinement and torture which he endured deep suffering for a brave human being as he is. Sympathy to all his family. We can pray to Senator John Mc Cane as he dwells in heaven Rest in Peace free of pain.
I didnt agree with his politics but he was American war hero, god bless him and the United States of America!
Why even bring it up!

He is in Hell, and that's where he belongs.
Trump is a insane fool, he doesn‘t care.
I didn't agree with most of his policies and ideas. But he was a man of integrity
Damn straight
@jntresearch I don’t agree with him as a politician but I do agree with him as a navy man and hero who served our country to the best of his mortal ability
Life long Democrat but I miss John McCain more than certain dead family members😂
Um. No. Not really.
That…is kind of questionable.
"Wishing you a happy voyage home Senator John McCain! You were one of the "Few Good Men"! GO NAVY!⚓⛵🌊⚓⛵⚓⚓⚓
Indeed a friend of my fathers both damaged in vietnam but came back

A true American hero passed! We sing the same hymns in England!
Also in northern Ireland Scotland and Wales 🤔
That truth has marched on ................!!!
Truly, the Last Lion of the Senate
So glad the USNA honor the true hero 💕
I think this is the arrangement started by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in the 1960s. It sounds exactly like their recording.
Better !
BEST FUNERAL since Reagan. A great honor performance!
Good bless Ronald Reagan and the country he loves
Good President
@@bernardbareng4240Reagan is in hell

To those who propagate lies to undermine our nation I would dedicate this song. It never fails to lift me up.
