Service Academies Sing the National Anthem
How many times have we suffered the likes of some rock star or a crotch grabbing Roseanne Barr slaughter the "Star Spangled Banner" at a sports event? The combined choirs of the service academies demonstrate how the National Anthem should be done, stirringly and with respect. Senator and 2004 VP candidate John Edwards was fond of saying there are two Americas, one rich and one poor. He was partially right only the two Americas are the Barr ilk and the rest of us.

1. . The United States Naval Academy Men's Glee Club will be in Seattle November 6-11 to perform in honor of Veteran's Day. They will arrive late Friday night, sing at Mass at St. James Cathedral on Saturday at 5:30 PM, and sing the National Anthem just before the Seahawks game on Sunday. On Monday, November 9, they will visit at area high schools during the day and perform a public concert at Saint Mark's Cathedral at 7 PM. After more high school visits on Tuesday, there will be a Farewell Dinner for them at the Museum of Flight that evening. Then they will depart back to Annapolis on Wednesday, Veteran's Day. If you would like to support the Glee Club, attend the public concert at Saint Mark's Cathedral on November 9. Tickets will be for sale at the door ($20 or $15 for military, students, or seniors) or presales through http://www.doubleknot.com/registration/calendardetail.asp?ActivityKey=650143 .
2. Celebrity singers butcher the national anthem because they don't respect it. THey've been brought up to despise America and it shows.
