[BrianBunka]

[blckbenbiggiefan123]

the 91' superbowl and this national anthem are the two best national anthems I have ever heard!!! if you haven't heard the 91 national anthem you should go listen to it!!!!

[Slim451]

I saw this before... and the video went missing so I had to find it again. This is without a doubt... the absolute best, most touching/emotional, just all around too good for words to describe rendition of the National Anthem. It was just... wow. Wow. Wow.

[Stevie9026]

i get chills everytime i watch this

[buttaaamilkXbiiiscut]

wow i miss all of those wrestlers.

i came to tears,she sang so well T-T

[JRangerCR355]

[OkamaBonClay91]

I'm an Asian from New Zealand and I still find it awesome how Lilian Garcia sung the Nation Anthem! She has a beautiful voice!

[rossbrandonlee123]

Was Howard Finkel the person who said will everybody please rise?

[noydhardcore]

[icemkile3]

[teamxtreme2000]

I'm a lad, from England... but heck Lilian Garcia can rock this Anthem! Goosebumps & a teat to my eye! Lilian Garcia <3.

[Scope000]

1:42 god damn i miss that mask

[IrishJETSfan2k10]

That sent shivers down my spine, gave me goosebumps and almost brought tears to my eyes all in one and i'm Irish!!

[Carolinagirlx13]

I'm not an emotional person at all, but i almost started to cry.

[jaznpwnz]

still hits me hard

[kcg5000]

3:24, the Navy guy is wearing a medal of honor, and is a SEAL. Salute that man.

Talk all the shit you want about wwe, but they did it right. Even the rock was nervous and feeling it.

[ColdNoodles]

@kcg5000 And thanks to the SEALs, they took care of the man responsible for 9/11.

[charismatic9904]

I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS EVENING. VINCE MADE THE RIGHT CALL AND LILLIANS SINGING BROUGHT ME AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS TO TEARS.

[manowar12334]

i'm from germany but i think every 11.09 we're americans

[LockDown2341]

I'm from Canada, but I was affected and horrified by the events of 9/11. They haunted me for days after. Ten years on, I tillr emember that day. This gave me chills. Thanks for posting.

[xRandax94]

I was in 2nd grade when this horrible tragedy happened. Now I'm a senior. Hard to believe it's been 10 long years. Sadly I really don't remember my life before 9/11. And people can deny this all they want but the truth is that this tragic event changed the entire world

[wwefan6191001]

[infernityzero2011]

@wwefan6191001 probably some behind the scene's guy

[romero316]

[JohnMorrisonFan22]

[wweandffan123]

[l3tha1ca1ib3r]

who is that at 2:24

[noydhardcore]

@l3tha1ca1ib3r Stephanie McMahon

[MrsWLeach]

@l3tha1ca1ib3r I AM IMPRESSED!!!! Sorry to sound crass, but a lot of the female stars in pro wrasslin these days act all skanky! This was a change for the better. In the midst of tragedy, class shows itself bright!

[stylesclash2980]

@l3tha1ca1ib3r Really? You are truly an idiot. That's my mom.

[therock19]

this just really sends a chill down my spine and im british. When she gets to the part that our flag was still there

[therock19]

god bless all those that lost there lives on september 11th they must never ever be forgotton.

[mattbad2008]

jesus im an australian and this gave me goosebumps, ty for posting this, fuckin brilliant!!!

[noydhardcore]

@mattbad2008 lol I'm an aussie too dude!

[Tubetheweb]

@mattbad2008 you should also watch her recent singing of the anthem in may 2011. I think there is a video posted on youtube. She still has got it. A great voice indeed.

[BoeingB17FF]

*salute* at 3:21. One of a few American military heroes. Note the Medal of Honor.

[l3tha1ca1ib3r]

@BoeingB17FF as far as im concered all us military personel are heros

[BoeingB17FF]

*salute* at 3:21. One of a few American military heroes.

[danbo7o7]

in a fantasy world i wouldve sent the Brothers of Destruction over there to send all those sand stuffin camel jockys STRAIGHT TO HELL!!!

[Stevie9026]

damn, she can sing

[colliric]

Heh... the Attitude era.... even had Manson as the theme back then...

[JamDecks]

I loved the whole ECW, WCW vs. WWF era

[frythedeliveryguy]

"America needs to open their eyes" -------- >Terrorists need to stay in their fucking caves and leave innocent people alone

[DimeRockRecords]

AMERICA NEEDS TO OPEN THEIR EYES!

[kinli1]

at 3:10 why does she have her hand in the air and who is she with Stone Cold?

[noydhardcore]

@kinli1 She is former WWF/E Womens Champion Debra, she used to be married to Steve Austin in real life. Also if you watch further into the video you can see that she has one of the little US flags that some of the other superstars had too.

[colliric]

@noydhardcore

she also made some pretty damn fine cookies!

[adema311]

@noydhardcore Debra she's a wwe diva.. Austin's Wife

[noydhardcore]

@adema311 no shit, didn't I say that already?

[NomnomJawsnomnom]

I saw this when it aired. Lillian absolutely hit it out of the fucking park. I also remember the pointed emphasis on "our flag WAS STILL THERE!" like a middle finger to the terrorists.

[gathunder92101]

Those who downed her performance need to have some damn respect. Can you even remotely imagine how difficult it was with all of the emotion Lillian was feeling to get out there and sing in front of our nation. It gives me goosebumps every time I go to an event and hear The National Anthem sang while looking at my husband and our brave troops who put their lives on the line everyday so that you can have the right to say what you think!

[lilwalkman2009]

it's moments like this i love most of all. when everyone unites like this and the show is forgotten and respect is shown by everyone no matter face or heel. THE best moment in Smackdown

[theoracle8191]

Lillian f'n ROCKS!!

And who's the terrorist who disliked??

[1EPowerUp]

who the hell disliked this video? osama?

[IAWINDTALKER]

They should have got Lilian Garcia to sing the anthem at the Superbowl.

[razorbacker63]

you can see how everyone is still stunned. that's how it was for several days.

[DshankumMusic]

Im British, pure respect for the USA though!

[723music]

@TheDivachampion1 except Afghanistan attacked us not Iraq

[NLfreek]

@723music more like a group nested in Afghanistan and a lot more countries....not the country of Afghanistan itself ;)

[TheWholeFNShowJD]

Damn 10 years later and it still brings a tear to my eye. God bless the USA, god bless the WWE, and god bless everyone. 1 love.

[MrMCR2010]

I remember this so vividly i was so young and that was the moment that the USA gained the respect that I still give them today...I respect the USA so much and as a Northern Irish girl i think that is an excellent thing to feel for them..

[JamDecks]

Linkin Park should be the next Super Bowl half time show

[MrMCR2010]

@JamDecks Totally Fucking Agree!!!!!

[BrianFalconsFan29]

Lillian needs to sing the national anthem for the next superbowl

[Kaizerbob]

you know it's good shit when somebody with a Congressional Medal of Honor is at a wrestling event

[crispyshivs]

i watched this for like the first time in like a year...at 3:50 i nearly teared up. miss you lillian!!!!

[colfamatt]

i don't know how anyone can say this rendition sucks. i almost had a goosebumps attack when she elongated "that our flag was STILL THERE!!!!!!" unbelievable

[wild1033]

bitch did a horrible job on the national anthem.

[icemanadams]

@wild1033 Hey ASSHOLE......Why don't YOU go back to your cave with the rest of your cowardly friends????

[wild1033]

@icemanadams if you think that was a good rendition of our national anthem, then you sir should go back to YOUR cave you unpatriotic mcasshole.

[bigmacdaddy31]

I think next year the WWE should do another tribute show to 9/11 and then release both this one and that one in their entirety on DVD. I'd love to see that!!

[SparkleLobster]

3.50 just gets me everytime. So powerful.

As for the NYCH- prehaps New York City Heroes?

[Tedaus5]

The American national anthem is annoying

[bigmacdaddy31]

@Tedaus5 The American National Anthem is amazing! And I'm Canadian.

[Yoshi44]

Shit makes me cry every time no joke.

[WWEAllKindaV1]

new york C : ? H : ?

[wlb20032085]

Still cry every time I see this. Can someone tell me what the letters on Bubbas wrist stood for?

[JosiahPlummer1988]

@wlb20032085

New York City something? Perhaps the "H" was home? I know Bubba is from NYC.

[GurahkXWeavile]

We miss you Lilian

[ALAKD3LTA221]

Best moment on Smackdown!

[philaman1972]

The most important episode of pro-wrestling ever. I know someone who attended that show and he told me there was not *one* dry eye in the house. Very powerful and something that cannot be forgotten.

[mrpompeyfc]

i got goosebumps and i'm english! respect for the USA!

[MissWWE20]

@mrpompeyfc can't belive its been that long ago. 9-11 -01 never forget.

[cerilee0407]

P.L.U.P. P.P.P.U.

[CJLwrestling]
