I pray we survive this current government who is using the very laws that were fought so hard to give them the right to be free and yet now seem bent on her destruction. Please pray for our country!

I'm sure Ron DeSantis will cancel the third verse of the national anthem. Francis Scott key goes on to brag about the success of slavery and in the third verse. He proclaims that slaves have nowhere to hide and are even afraid to run away. He brags that any slave that resists will know the gloom of the grave. This is someone that didn't care about freedom for all men his only interest was making money. Oh and by the way he was a plantation owner from a long line of plantation owners.

Her heart is in the right place but she's ignorant. Most Americans don't even know that Francis Scott Key was a dedicated bigot. As district attorney for Washington d.c. he openly bragged that he would never prosecute a white person for any crime committed against a black person and that included rape and murder. Francis Scott Key was a descendant of a long line of slave plantation owners. He himself was a slave plantation owner. It seems everyone ignores the third verse of the national anthem for good reason. They don't want you to see that it's actually a very racist song and the reason it was picked as the national anthem. Look at the third verse. The song brags that slaves have nowhere to hide and are afraid to run away. The song threatens any slave that resists with the Gloom of the grave. The song is a slap in the face to ever African-American whose ancestors were slaves. America the Beautiful would be a much better representation.

Now here the rest of the story. Francis Scott key was a hardcore racists. He was from a long line of plantation owners who denied a whole race of people of their freedom. Francis Scott Key once bragged as the District Attorney of Washington DC that he would never prosecute a white person for any crime committed against a black person and that included rape and murder. If you have any doubts about how Francis Scott Key felt about the black slaves just go to the third verse of the National Anthem. The song brags about how, slaves have nowhere to hide and are even afraid to run away. The song brags that slaves that dare resist, will know the gloom of the grave. Just thought you all should know.

This is the history of the flag and the anthem and it’s a shame they forgot how important it is it’s not just a flag it’s the price which people payed in their blood and sacrifice they gave for what they believed. I’m British I’m proud of our history and our flag even tho our history has not always been upstanding and glorious but we should be proud that we accomplished so much and learn of the lessons we’ve learned and not to make the same mistakes again. Unfortunately our leaders often go against We the people. God bless those who give their lives to keep us safe ❤️

Love to you Brits.. Always an unbreakable brotherhood... Love from across the water

I loved your reaction, it was so touching! I have a son who is a veteran and I had pride in our flag before but it gives a different pride of our flag when you have someone who has fought for it!

I first saw this Star Spangled Banner story when I was in grade school. I have never forgotten it and always respect what the flag stands for. I was raised around WWII and Korean war vets and understood how much that flag meant to them. When it was played they all stopped what they were doing removed their hats and stayed silent.

Our flag represents the American People, this nation as a whole, and all the sacrifices good people have made. Yes, we have made mistakes in our history and we make mistakes today, but as long as this country stands up for our Constitution, we all should give thanks to God for that flag still standing and unite under the flag that honors it.

I have a grandson (Kornell) who has now joined his ancestors in serving in the Military for our Country. Keep him in prayer. Thank you

I cried the first time I watched it. Cried this time and will cry each and every time I watch it. This needs to be shown everyday on the hill in Washington DC.

WOW! Thanks for sharing! Our country was meant to be, no matter how corrupt some leaders are. I think that was Red Skelton who told the story, my great uncle’s best friend! Great perspective on what the words mean. ❤️

If anyone listens to this and doesn’t reach for the Kleenex box, does not have a heart. I am a American Citizen born in another country and this confirms to my heart why I am now an American Citizen and love this Country. Thank you so much for sharing this heart touching story about our National Anthem and the American flag! God bless America.

I am a foreign-born American and I always found it abhorrent to hear about an American burning this symbol of everything that is Godly of this wonderful Nation. After I saw this video, my feelings intensified. I already knew of that historical fact, but today, with tears, I learned a lot more. Thank you so much for this video.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

He use the national anthem to express his racist views in the third verse. He brags about how slaves have nowhere to hide and are afraid to run away.

Because America at that time was built as hope for all people no matter Race, Gender, or Faith. The day We the country accepts that again is the day America will truly be the strongest Country try in the world.

Hair foreign accent suggests that she is the first generation of immigrants. Maybe she should have done her research a little bit better. They picked the wrong song to represent America. America the Beautiful would be better. In fact I think they picked it because they knew Francis Scott Key was a bigot and a slave plantation owner. No one seems to notice that Francis Scott Key use the third verse of the national anthem to brag about slavery. The song proclaims that slaves have nowhere to hide and are afraid to run away. The song brags that any slave that resist will know the groom of the grave. Doesn't sound like a song dedicated to freedom and Justice to me. Sounds like a song that was picked because if it's racist qualities.

These brave men died for our FREEDOM. We shouldn't lose that mentality.

When you teach it in school should they tell the students that Francis Scott Key was a a descendant of and himself a slave plantation owner? Should Americans examine the third verse which brags about slavery. The song proclaims that, "Slaves Have Nowhere To Hide and Are Afraid To Run Away". The song threatens any slave that resists with, " The Gloom Of The Grave". African Americans should realize the song takes the opportunity to insult their ancestors. Francis Scott Key served as the District Attorney for Washington DC. He bragged that he would never prosecutor a white person for a crime committed against a black person. That included rape and murder. There were free black people in Washington DC but that's not Freedom when you have to be worried about being raped or murdered and there would be no consequences. Francis Scott Key's history and the insult he included directed at African Americans was the reason this song was selected.

I served in the Army and Navy for this 🇺🇸 My dad got wounded at the Vietnam 🇻🇳 war and eventually passed away. I never knew him.

23 years in the Navy, but I had never heard this story. Thank you for adding depth to the words I’ve revered my entire life. God bless you and God bless America 🇺🇸
