This is totally NOT wedding related…

Just a random musing inspired by a blog reader comment and following a link to her blog…

I received a comment from a reader – (army)wife – her blog More Than An Army Wife is really interesting…

A recent post on her blog had to do with Francis Scott Key, and our National Anthem…
While I admittedly did pretty well in American history in high school… (ok it was back in the dark ages as most of my clients weren't born when I was in high school.)

I never knew more of the history of Francis Scott Key than the fact that he wrote it from a ship while watching the fort getting bombed…
Check out this YouTube video … The Star Spangled Banner Like You've Never Heard It
I'm amazed and in awe of the sacrifice …
While I was raised by a mom would have broken my right arm if I had not stood, removed my hat and put my hand over my heart when The Star Spangled Banner was played…and I admittedly know every word (even though I don't sing well), I sing it EVERY time it's played..
Now I'll do it with a new found reverence for its composer and those who inspired it…
