I got goosebumps listening to this. To alot of people its just a song, but to me and my family its more than that. We have served in every American war there has been. My great grandfather in WW1 who was captured and tortured severely, this song gave him and the other men hope. Our flag is more than a piece of cloth, it's ultimate freedom, it's blood, sweat, tears, death, fighting for others and ourselves. I am very proud tobe an American.

Thanks Tea for posting this.
I looked at the american people at this point in History and at first I felt pitty for them, for their apaty, huge ignorance and absence of common sense or individual thinking. I see now there IS people fighting against that control system, who in fact are fighting literally the most HEROIC war our race has fought for centuries.

You are doing GOD's task, but do know you are not alone.
i over heard a vietnam vet talking to a iraq vet once. the vietnam vet asked the iraq vet if he had ever killed anyone. the iraq vet said "yeah'. the viet vet said, 'yeah, you never really get used to that'. the iraq vet said, 'no, i got used to it, i just never got used to killing kids'. the iraq vet was then working for halliburton, going to visit his daughter in san diego. we were on a plane. no, i'm not making this up, what do you think war is like?
I have probably watched this 25 times now. So damn good. I only wish everyone felt what this man must be feeling when he sings this song. We all felt that way on Sept. 12, 2001, I just wish it could always be this way. But I do wish that you never forget that feeling and always remember and respect those who have died for us. From the innocent souls on that day, to the first soldiers of this war on flight 93 and including all who serve this country. Thank you for your service and God Bless!
@longroundtip You're absolutely right, they are.. and i'm seeing other people reply to you with disrespect and stereotype as well and it truly saddens me :( that throught all this people still take the time to bash on on each other on things they dont know.. i might not agree with the usa's economy, or you on canada's healthcare, or on wtv :) but at the end of the day, we're all just trying to find happiness, and instead we waste our days with stupid quarrels... :(

@longroundtip Yeah, of course I want to be a fat American with no knowledge at all. Living in a country where people like Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber are the religion of people like you...
Best rendition ever. The guy is amazing and so much better than the stupid 'pop stars' that try to make the anthem all about them. This guy gets it...the Anthem is about America. So much bigger than any one person. Wish he did this for all Chicago sports teams, not just the Hawks.
@longroundtip Naaa man, dont start with things like that. I'm from canada but it doesnt stop me from saying that this was one of the greatest national anthems interpretations ive ever heard... dislikers are trolls, they have no nationality, please show some acknowledgement towards other countries that payed their respects to your own that day. Not only americans died in the towers.... remember that.

So nice to see this sang the way it was intended to be rather than a self undulgent version of pop / rock stars. The pride in country and people could be felt throughout the song because he sang it with such power and strength in his voice. Nicely done Chicago, you kept it true to its original version and the pride could be felt throughout the stadium! WQay to go Chicago! Bravo!
Don`t care who you are, what city you are from or what team you like this is BY FAR the best 9-11 tribute from a fan and vocal standpoint. Way to go Chicago and Way to go Jim Cornelison! I may have the spelling wrong on the singer but he`s just awesome and the Fans showed amazing emotion! Nice job!
To all the people DIRECTLY affected by this Tragedy, I am so sorry and i hope as time continues to go by things get a bit easier for you.
Just an awe inspiring rendition. Big props to the people of Chicago for the loud applause all throughout the song. I believe this is the way it should be performed every time. Gives you chills!
He always does an amazing job on this song, but he really put his whole heart and soul into it today. He out did himself and nailed it!!!! BRAVO!!!!!!
impressive. the first anthem sang on the day, on a national tv across the country and in every game played at 1pm. the whole country watched this and he nailed it. im proud of this, and the fans reaction, just glad the world gets to see what i see at blackhawks games.
I saw the whole clip they had of this on Fox News this morning. It was awesome how the crowd was cheering through the whole National anthem. Afterwards I looked for it for an hour and it wasn't up yet...thanks for posting.
It makes me want to throw my chest out, my head back and grunt like Tim Allen-"OH, OH, OH!"
I am so proud of our Country. I am proud of NYC! I am proud of our Troops. Joe Biden made an amazing speech at the Pentagon, and Jimmy C. performed the most meaningful National Anthem of our time. God bless our Troops, God Bless those who sacrificed ther lives in the line of duty! GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Amazing how damn cool this sounds and the energy that flows through you when its not sung like a hip-hop or hill-billy tune, but instead, LIKE ITS SUPPOSED TO BE!!!!!
Moving...hair-raising...this rendition conveys the sense of valor and resolve we saw on 9/11...it hardly needs to be said that this leaves the timid, more-in-sadness-than-in-pride renditions--to say nothing of all the more popular sporting-event, cabaret/torch-song and blues versions--in the dust...
This has to to be the best tribute done by far. This man made a somber situation become inspirational......gave me chills and a great way to start the football season. God Bless America and may all those who perished in the 911 attacks RIP. We will never forget
