Star Spangled Banner
As you all know, I'm not American, but I learned something today that gave me goosebumps.
It's not very short but definitely worth watching.

This is a story that we as Americans learned in grade school. However, I don't know that it meant as much to us then as it should have. No matter which side of the conflict you were from you have to admire that the men who founded this union were of extraordinary character. Agree or disagree with them you have to admire their intestinal fortitude.

I agree, although I am not from the USA I was moved and impressed by the history of your National Anthem.

If you visit Baltimore you have to go to Fort McHenry.

Perhaps you will enjoy this. While he was known for his humor and clean humor at that, later in life his paintings of clowns sold for many thousands of dollars. Again, I do hope you and all will enjoy it: Originally Posted by STF

Red was popular when I was a kid in the early 60s. Most of those old vaudeville types had their jokes for certain audiences I believe. I see his re run shows on cable TV on occasion at present.
Like Bob Hope, and John Wayne, they made no apology for being an American. None, nada, zilch.
Some of us will recall Wayne had a similar recording about the flag, in the heyday of the ner do wells throwing mud at it.
I moved to northern NV in the early 1980s, and used to go to the then Shotgun News gun show at Ballys, or it might have been the MGM then, its the Grand Sierra now.
If memory serves, Skelton lived in Tahoe in his last years, and they had his clown paintings displayed at one of those gun show weekends.
I recall seeing either Fess Parker, or the guy that played Cheyenne, can't recall which, at one of those gun shows. Getting CRS these days.
