Thread: Our National Anthem

Tweet

Vara4, everyone who is privileged to be in this Country should be like your Family. It was people like your Family who made this great but people who come here today already have their hand out. My wife's Grandmother came here in a trunk when she was a little girl, that was in the late 1800's she worked for what she got and raised a Family. There are more stories like that from people on this forum more then likely. Amen to you, and your Family.

It all happened in 1814 right here in Baltimore, in a ship on our Chesapeake Bay right off of Fort McHenry, which is only about 3 miles from my office. Our flag still flies there every day and every night, well lighted, as it has always been with the exception of the dark days during WWII.

It's a great story and a great anthem. Not the easiest to sing, nor remember, but it is ours and I'm damn proud of it.
