Star Spangled Banner - Do you even know the words to the National Anthem?

By
Real Estate Agent with Homes by Nellie-Working with Buyers & Sellers

MEMORIAL DAY 2011.  A TIME TO REMEMBER THOSE WHO HAVE GIVEN THE ULTIMATE TO KEEP US FREE.  

Do YOU know our  United States Nation Anthem?  At least the first verse?

Have you ever thought about the freedoms you have here vs. other countries in the world?  Have you ever travelled to other parts and observed freedoms there?

It's amazing how much you will appreciate what you have taken for granted when you see other parts of the world...or for that matter.....other parts of the United States!

Hi Nellie,

Yes I know the words. And i don't butcher it like so many singers do. Glad we have some recordings of the "right way to sing the song"

Have a great weekend.

I know the words also, we had to sing it everyday when in elementary school.  Not a simple song.  It builds and is such a beautiful song.  Thank you!  Happy Memorial Day!

Yes I know the words and having traveled to many parts of the world that are really in trouble economically and politically I appreciate its meanings.

What makes living in America amazing is that anybody can butcher this song, like Roseanne did, and still be free to roam the country.

Loved your comment about the survey for under 30! I've been away from AR this past week and thought I'd check in...looks like you've been away too.  Just so you know, someone is noticing your absence!
