Some so-called professional singers do so much damage to the National Anthem that I cringe from the first bar. And, I'm afraid I have to include the seven-year-old "sensation" who charmed everyone at the Magic games.

As a retired military person, I am happy to be able to salute when the Star Spangled Banner plays, even when I'm in the most informal civilian clothes. It's a recent modification and well accepted.
