Sometimes, not always, this song bring tears to my eyes.

It's often sung with passion, and can be beautiful when sung 'traditionallly', though I'm not knocking other versions, anyhow, tonight before the football game was one of the best traditional versions that I've ever heard.

And it brought tears to my eyes.

I too get misty eyed when I hear our national anthem. The Yankees still play Kate Smith's rendition of God Bless America at the 7th inning stretch, I love that too.

Check this out. I heard it on the radio and had to stop. Fenway was hosting a night for special kids and this guy sings. Watch what happens when he starts to lose it. I love Fenway.

The National Anthem will always make me stop what I am doing and listen in reverence. It makes me think of those that paid the ultimate sacrafice for all the freedoms we have. It symbolizes so much. God Bless America!
