The Star-Spangled Banner (ca. 1940's)

[logerbad19]

those 8 people who disliked the video are communists and terrorists

[daihorikawa]

 Beautiful!Respect from Japan.

[Falange2000]

god bless america.

[Ferrariman601]

Ah, a relic from when America actually had a strong national identity and stood for something. Maybe if we could recapture those days, we could get somewhere.

[heb1114]

I thank the Lord for the many freedoms we enjoy in this nation & for those who defend us. May we never forget that freedom isn't free! Pray for our troops. This is an appropriate time to reflect on Kentucky's state motto: "United we stand, divided we fall."

[pieman97405]

In all of my years, I have never scene a more beautiful sight then old glory flying. May she and the ideals she stands for never parish from the earth. God bless America.

[LessonNumber1]

that's from cbeebies

[davidlee110]

hey

is say we got a chance we might get a 51th state in 2013

[bypasso]

fucking America,,

[davidlee110]

48 stars

hawaii is a 49th state in 1945

asklsa is a 50th state in 1954

white stars stands for states

[rnigma]

Wrong. Alaska and Hawaii were both added in 1959.

[Mark113322]

The United States is having some rough times but we will get through it, we always prevail, we need another great president like Ronald Reagan. But like I said we will get through these times, we always do.

Just remember in the 1970's when people were spitting on American soldiers and burning the flag on street corners, our rep has been worse before and it got better and it will get better again.

God Bless The United States of America

[phy94]

Amen.

[jimthewriter]

The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave! God Bless America!

[travisrashawn216]

WOW! YALL PEOPLE ARE ANTI-AMERICANS

[Ross4916]

Thanks for the profanities, cuckoo! I'm sure Canadians/Canadiens are proud to have civilized immigrants like you living in their midst.

[kuluku]

Canada is much better than fucking U.S!

[Ross4916]

Canada is great and I visit often. My brother lives in Toronto. You are an embarrassment to Canada and are a typical YouTube noob who has nothing to say.

[kuluku]

You can say anything as you like. But the U.S is a real rogue nation that no wonder!

[kuluku]

You can say anything as you like. But the U.S is a real rogue nation that no wonder!

[Ross4916]

That will NOT last much longer. During the past 7 years we (Americans) have had the worst political "leadership" my country has ever had. For decades earlier our government also had a one-sided world view. We are MORE sick of it than the rest of world is, and we are going to stop it. I agree with you, the US has been acting like a rogue nation. Constructive dialog is better than calling names.

[MrTantraMan]

You bet your ass on that one!

[kuluku]

Fucking idiot!

[FusionWarrior]

To those being rude, show some respect. Americans: fly your flag with pride as the leader of the free world. England is with you.

[remedave]

america used to be england

[migkiller001]

Now we know better

[Strangedays365]

Sweet! I have an original old flag like that, I should do something like this W/ It.

[lehtorja]

Very nice and romantic, old style clip. Thanks for including the speaker too! "Ladies and gentlemen..." =)

[YourSuperiorSays]

written by a brit. OUCH!

[ITOMIC85]

The national anthem was written by francis scott key.. he wasnt a brit. he was born in maryland. o.O

[Letcherism]

No, the poem/anthem was written by an American soldier (I think) FSK.

But the melody (which you're thinking of?) is an old British drinking song.

[xtreme1002003]

@Letcherism No the lyrics were written by Francis Scott Key, a lawyer, author, and poet.

[wmbrown6]

For many years, WPIX in New York had a film along these lines - only 50 stars were on the flag, and the "SSB" version was from the U.S. Army Band as recorded in the 1960's - as seen on sign-ons and sign-offs. But the camera angle and the flag flying - plus the sky outside - were similar to here.

[ABUMUHAMMADSHAMIL]

STAR SPANGLED SHIT DROPS!

[ww2fan39]

Star spangled banner you macaroni! Show some respect!

[ABUMUHAMMADSHAMIL]

When AMERICANS start respecting others they will be respected! but that would probably never come since AMERICA was founded on the backs of slaves and the murdering of hundreds of millions of native AMERICANS! Respect huh you have to earn respect!!!

[ww2fan39]

I respect the Navite Americans, i respect Muslims, i respect Jews. but your being disrespectful and all you want to do is to spread "justice".

[ABUMUHAMMADSHAMIL]

You sir! disrespected me first by calling me a terrorist! So are you being like most Americans? attack first and the defender gets labeled the terrorist? that's usually how American justice works eh?

[ww2fan39]

Can i be steriotype too? Defender?

[ww2fan39]

Do i recall 9/11 or are you one of those people who deny that the Taliban did it?

[ABUMUHAMMADSHAMIL]

Taliban? I thought they were from saudi? or maybe it was Al QIDAH? oh know it was Sadam right? What about WMD you invaded IRAQ to disarm them of there OIL I mean WMD's Right? Yeah man your not fooling us with that shit we got you Americans all figured out. If your hands have honey on them then your probably the one's who knocked the tree down to get it.

[ww2fan39]

Your funny.

[ABUMUHAMMADSHAMIL]

Aint I!

[ww2fan39]

YES!

[ABUMUHAMMADSHAMIL]

At least we agree on one thing!

[ww2fan39]

Well we shouldnt be in Iraq.

[ABUMUHAMMADSHAMIL]

Man thats the first thing you said all day that has real value to it. I think I could like you!

[ww2fan39]

But still you talk crap about my country. Dorry for calling you a terrorist.

[ww2fan39]

And My nation was not founded on bloodshed, it was founded from struggle.

[ABUMUHAMMADSHAMIL]

Ok? What country did your great grand father and great grandmother come from? "MY" I wonder how the Natives feel when people like your self say that. "MY"

Country! USA country of imigrants or just for whitey?

[ww2fan39]

For everyone. and i am refering to the United States.

[pytko3]

Well Islam was founded on bloodshed and it's ideas of peace are no different than anyone elese. With the Exception of the Sufi Muslims and the Budhists.

[TehMike]

[MessianicJewishGuy]

DevilChopper666 who cares.

[Alfrunk]

No, republicans are fidghting against socialism and communism, democrats are fighting for evil.

[pytko3]

Maybe we should get rid of both of you since all you want to do is waste time and money fighting eachother.

[Maxigorito]

E pluribus unum

[ww2fan39]

YES. E PLURIBUS UNUM!

[LunasAzules]

The 1940's ruled! Down with the America haters, terrorist sympathizers, commies, anarachists, and fascists!

[phy94]

[promotube]

One nation, under God, with Liberty and Justice for all!

[TaibsheAnam]

That's not funny. I came to attention and my laptop fell in the floor. Great video.

[OtakuPraetorius]

The flag of Fascism, Terrorism, and Capitalism is waving... not for much longer.

[promotube]

Get out of your diaper and clean up your sandbox, Space Cadet!

[Biohzrdboy]

Who taught this moron how to spell but forgot to tell him to know the definitions of words before he uses them? Suck a fart out of my ass!

[pytko3]

Which flag do you refer?

[ww2fan39]

Yet its still waving.

[oddjob29]

maybe in 2008 i'll turn my flag right side up! I won't if mccain, or that mormon prick wins. go barack go! *treads on it*

[Biohzrdboy]

Jesus. If you can't separate patriotism from partisan politics then you don't deserve to be an American. Idiot comments like yours make me ashamed to call myself a Democrat.

[JTHM3247]

You should be ashamed to call yourself a Democrat

[MessianicJewishGuy]

JTHM3247 who cares.

[TehMike]

Listen to this man, he is thuper thereal. THUPER.DUPER.THEREAL.

[aquinasss]

the world would be pretty fucked up if not for america. and of course terrorist sympathizers hate the flag.

[Peacewithpeace]

news Flash .. the world hates America! THE Black and the Lations IN AMerica HAte America The SOth America Hates America, EAst to west everyone hates america.. stop dreaming. America Got Child BLOOD all over it.

[aquinasss]

And the world just screams for joy in Iran or Azerbaijan. All those millions trying to get into America every year should take your advice.

[scuddycares]

news flash. when free world leftists parrot the same things the extreme right mullahs and clerics say, you can be sure they are traitors to every ideal the free world stands for.

'everyone hates america' is just camel fodder.

[duniechard]

bravo!

[ABUMUHAMMADSHAMIL]

the flag of terrorism at its finest!

[ww2fan39]

Your the terrorist so shush!

[ABUMUHAMMADSHAMIL]

you enslaved the Africans, you murdered raped and destroyed the great native American Indians. That is what this means to people all around the world. first country to make a nuke first country to use it on humans and now you want to police other countries hypocrites! this flag is the flag of international and global terrorism. The only people who don't recognize this fact is Americans them selves.

[ww2fan39]

You blocked me you coward.

[ABUMUHAMMADSHAMIL]

Yeah I always block NAZI pigs!

[ww2fan39]

Your evil and inhumane!

[AlreadyKnownAs]
