In Honor of Independence Day

[kcb]

These little ladies were on a television program I watch every morning during the week, when I am at home.

They are a little older now, but they still send chills down my spine when they sing this song...so Beautiful.

That was great, Mr. Tous! I wish I could play it for all of my students at school!

Thanks for sharing it with us!

Why can't you?

You know, I just might ask our principal. I just know some teachers don't even require their students to stand up for the pledge of allegiance or national anthem anymore. Apparently, we can no longer require it because of religious preferences.

So, because of that, I'm thinking I couldln't "make" every student watch it!

:shocked:

The Cactus Cuties in my OP have a CD out and they explain the Historical significance of Frances Scott Key and the National Anthem, along with other famous Patriotic songs. I'm going to see if I can find it.

As a daughter, granddaughter and neice of Naval men during times of war...and a wife of an Army Soldier during a time of semi-piece (I never knew there was still much danger when he was over seas), and a daughter-in-law to a member of the Air Force...

I honor all of the branches of the military tonight. I don't believe this includes Coast Guard, but I also honor them!
