Sergio... that song has ALWAYS given me "goose bumps"... and frequently makes my eyes wet....that version may be the most powerful one I have ever heard.
Those of you who have never been to Baltimore, Maryland, should plan a trip to Fort McHenry where the battle was fought that Francis Scott Key witnessed and the events of that battle were used as the basis of our National Anthem.
Conehammer, thanks for sharing!
About ten years ago, I was privileged to visit Fort McHenry, and to be chosen from those in attendance to assist in lowering Old Glory at the end of the official day. It takes about 50 to 100 people to catch the flag as it is lowered and keep it from touching the ground as they put it away for the night. Immediately thereafter, a smaller flag is raised so our flag flies there 24 hours a day.
