Something wonderful, sent by a friend.
"On July 4th the Boston Red Sox had a young man sing the Star Spangled Banner. He was somewhat disabled and there were other youngsters in the same condition with the players around the field as well those as standing near the batter’s box. He only sang a few notes when you realized he was not a renowned vocalist. A few bars more and he missed a word or two, there was some laughter and it was laughing with him, he and the lady with him were smiling.
Then…50,000 voices gallantly streamed in…!"
It is an outstanding display of fortitude on this young man's part and of love by those in attendance. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
This sports fan and soft heart enjoyed it plenty.

Love this. Gave me chills.
Makes you truly "Proud to be an American!"
Don't you think the National Anthem was meant to be sung by everybody and not as a performance by a soloist anyway. I prefer the crowd to stand, with thier hands over their hearts singing together the anthem of our country.
Agree, Sister!
