One of the greatest adult leaders in my life. I'm honored to say that this magnificent lady has made such an impact on my life and shaped me into the man I am today.
I am an elementary school and I was looking for a song for my school to sing at this year's veteran's day program. This song made me so proud. It gave me goosebumps. Has this wonderful music teacher ever allowed another school to sing it? We would love to use it to bring the spirit of America to our Veteran's program. Can you help me?
Marie-Jo, this is just as beautiful as you, your kids, Richard, and this amazing country. Thanks to Mary Muter, for your wonderful video..thanks for making it and posting it! I have been sharing, and I see a comment here from one of my friends. For those who don't know her, Mrs. Thum is one of the unsung angels of song and love. All who know her are graced and blessed! Best friends since 2nd grade!!!!!

We won't stop here but I just have to say how proud I am that 1,000 different computers and phones have clicked on Rise up America and remembered.... A humbling thought. God Bless America. Now,lets go viral......
How awesome to have such a gift...to share your conviction and faith in our country though the gift of song! I love Ya Marie Jo! I'm so glad I have you as a part of my life. Everyone needs to hear this message...we've got a journey ahead of us...and wen need encouragement like this to get us there! Rise Up!
So glad RIchard put a note about this on FB. I saw it and was so overcome....I have shared it with my followers. So good to hear Marie Jo's voice again.
This song was written by Mary Jo-Thum, who was the music director for Coral Sunset Elementary School in Boca Raton, Florida at the time, shortly after the attacks occurred. The chorus of kids heard in this song were actual Coral Sunset students. I'm honored to say that I was one of the students in the human flag seen toward the end of this video.
