By the way, some folks sacrificed a lot for the U.S. of A. and do not feel that our National Anthem is trivial issue.
On the other hand, just expressing my opinion which may not be worth two cents. Interesting subject and worthy of discussion.

To me, our national anthem is not trivial. Nor is our flag. Many sacrificed. I gave my country 6 of my best years and my country used me as it saw fit. Some gave more. Some gave less. Some gave everything. Some gave nothing. I stand for the Star Spangled Banner. I salute the flag. But, before the official proceedings begin, or even after they begin, if the event organizers feel it adds to the proceedings by having an invocation, spiritual music, or just additional entertainment, that is fine by me. I respect that not all my American brothers and sisters don't share my beliefs, and that is fine. Let the music play. Jmho.
