How do you mean?

[Jonnybrams]

Merrill Miller, born Moishe Miller, later to change his name to Robert Merrill and become arguably America's greatest operatic baritone of the 20th century...

America is sooooooooooooooo great^^

This is one of the best versions of the U.S. anthem, all the modern versions are terrible.

@linkfan160 The current athem is still the one that was sung then, though it used to consist of 3 verses, and was shortened to 1. The two cut out ones are too indicating and are forbidden.

@HupetheSajiki No, America is AWESOME!

I believe that the United States of America is the most blessed nation on earth! "No other nation, in the history of the world, has ever provided so much freedom, so much justice, and so much opportunity to so many people." -Joy Hakim

I salute all those who have served or are serving our country. Remember, freedom isn't free! Support our troops & remember our veterans. Pray that God would bless America with those who do justice, love mercy, & walk humbly with Him!
