    As the owner of this video let me make this clear.... If you start a political war in the comments I will remove them! This is not the place for it and I will not tolerate it on my video! So take it somewhere else!!!

      I have no idea what anyone's political affiliation is nor do I care! This video is simply meant to show respect and love for the greatest country in the world. MHO...... Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, this is mine!

      I am not sure I get your meaning behind "is this cause a typical liberal posted it?" I am the one who posted it and I am definitely not a liberal. My comment is because several people have tried to start political wars here and I refuse to allow political garbage to stain what this video is all about. It is about a group of high school children who most don't know each other, coming together and honoring the greatest nation in the world! That's it......

    Our Founding Fathers would have tears of unadulterated, sheer pride streaming down their faces while falling to their knees if they could be here to hear this.
    THIS is why we say we will sacrifice our very lives to protect this land which we call Home. THIS is why we are fortunate to call ourselves "America"
    Because regardless of our differences as individuals, one song can remind us of the struggles and sacrifice of generations prior centuries ago to ourselves...those that gave everything to hand us what we have today.

    I personally think this is how the national anthem should be sung, not by one person or a few people, but the whole audience or crowd or stadiums of people should sing it, that shows their respect for the country and deep down in their hearts how much they love it. When these people sang it you can really hear their emotion, science has proven that when a large group of people sing together, their heart beats sink together with the rhythm and beat together

    I am in a high school band and have been for a while and the syncronization especially given the size of the room and amount of voices was truly increadible the chords were full and heavy I loved every second. this should be the only way this song can be sang.

    A beautiful rendition of our national Anthem. Sung with dignity unlike many renditions we hear today at various sports events which seem to be "jazzed" up and in my opinion not respectful of our great nation.

    What a beautiful thing to see our youth stand up and sing what so many of us stand for, what so many young men and women have battled for. Our country is so divided and little things like this are what bind us together and strengthen us.

    • @Uscgthumper
      @Uscgthumper  8 років тому

    This rendition of our National Anthem evokes so much more "love of Country" than that of it being "wrecked" prior to a sporting event by some pop singer who can scream with the best of them!!! Thank you for sharing!

    God I really need this, a bunch of people by themselves singing this may not be as impressive. But all of them "united" and "together" the create something powerful both metaphorically and in, well great in this video. This video needs to be shared on mass to spread a message. United we are stronger, divided we are at our weakest. Thank you.

      It is an amazing experience to witness and as a veteran, standing in the crowd and saluting is simply wonderful!!!! Good luck in being a fireman! We need more good people in the world willing to risk for others!

    I abhor when our anthem is sung by one person. It always sounds best when sung by many people. Doesn’t even have to be a choir. The audience at any sport event would sound better than whoever they get to sing it. It just sounds better together.

    How impressive and grand. This is the way it should be sung - with feeling, dignity and class. Thank YOU! Seems there are still Americans left with dignity, feeling and class regarding their awesome country.
