  I think it's important that the song ends with a question: "Oh, say, does that star spangled banner yet wave, o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?" It is a reminder that freedom isn't forever. It must be defended or you will lose it.

  I am an immigrant here and became a Naturalized U.S. citizen when I was 16 years old, my choice.  I was drafted into the Army in time for Vietnam.   Served 22 years everyday a proud U.S. army Infantryman.  At 75 years old I still cry when the Colors go by or I hear the National Anthem.

  Thank you, my German Brother, for respectfully watching and reacting to this video!  As an American, I cannot listen to our national anthem without tears in my eyes. 🇺🇸❤️

  This is why we respect and hang our flag so much. It’s not bc “we don’t know where we are” like I’ve heard some people joke. It’s because of the men & women who fought for the country and its ideals. And the ones still serving.

  I had tears in my eyes. My dad was career military. His father was in WWI. My ancestors back to the American Revolution fought for this country. We have our faults but we do our best.

  I'm a Desert Storm Army infantry veteran and I cry EVERY time I hear The Star Spangled Banner because I know what those words mean and what those who held that flag up felt. I will die before I let ANYONE take down My Flag. I served because I wanted to return the gift of Freedom that was given to me by SO MANY even many in my family😢 God Bless America

  This is why so many Americans will absolutely never let the flag touch the ground. We know what it means.

  I am German by blood, AMERICAN by birth, and a proud veteran by choice, I know that some countries peoples are mystified as to WHY our flag means so much to us, and WHY so many of us are not only able, but quite willing to go ANYWHERE, and fight, bleed, kill, and if necessary die for our flag, our people, and our country, well it is because our forefathers paid a very heavy price for us to have our country, our flag, our liberties, and our freedoms, it is the job of each and every generation of American's to accept that, guard it, and pass it along to the next generation, if we fail even 1 time in those transitions, EVERYTHING that makes our country so special, will disappear like ashes in high wind, Freedom has NEVER been free, but comes at the very highest of price, in our bloodshed, our wounded, and our fallen, and as Americans, we have ALWAYS been willing to pay that price, no matter how high it is, and go anywhere on the planet to do so, there have been only 3 major wars fought on our soil, The Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and our Civil War, and since the Civil war, we have made it a point, to never again allow a war on our own soil, this is WHY we go someplace else to fight, we do it on THEIR backyard, not our own!

  This is why it is so disrespectful to let the flag touch the ground. It shows disrespect for those who fought to make and keep our country independent.

  As an American, this is a story that we learned about this as kids. It never gets old. We say we live free because of the brave. It is so true. Many people have dies so I am free. I don't agree with everything that my country does, but I am still proud to be American. That flag represents our ideals, our bravery, and our fortitude. It is the symbol that defines us as a nation and a people. Throughout history, the Americans have always come together to fight a common enemy. We may disagree about many things in America, but together, we will stand strong and face any enemy.
