The 4th Of July And The Star Spangled Banner

This is one of 3 posts I am moving from one Blog Category of mine to another to reorganize that Category.
On the eve of this 4th of July I wanted to share something with you that recalls some real fireworks, some real bombs bursting in air. I will give you the link at the end of this message, and I hope it will be memorable to you on the 4th, when you see the American Flag, and when you hear the national anthem, the star spangled banner. We sang the national anthem in church this Sunday, and when the memory of this story that is on this link came to my mind... my eyes teared up, and I lost my voice for a moment. I am not easily brought to tears, but the memory of the sacrifices that bought our independence, our freedom, the knowledge of this story that occurred at Fort Sumpter...did just that. It is about 6 minutes, and the end of the story is well worth they wait. Enjoy.... and appreciate....what was given for our freedom. http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=story%2bof%2bstar%2bspangled%2bbanner%2bsong&view=detail&mid=114DC
