Its a song we all hear before the start of every professional college or high school game. Its a song filled with history. with respect. with honor and meaning far beyond what a single word is defined by. How often do we hear the lyrics to this beautiful song and well take them - this nation we live in -the freedom that was fought for - the lives that were lost to have that freedom - the cost at what it takes to protect that freedom - the freedom itself for granted. I find it amazing how events like the shootings in Newtown, the bombings in Boston and 9/11 can have such an effect on all Americans coming together as one. That we can put pass our differences and realize what makes this nation so great is the freedom that it allows for us all to be who we are - to not be the same to have different views and opinions and yet are still able to come together as a whole as one as Americans.
There are moments that you are over comed with emotion moved to tears watching the crowd of Boston fans over take the singing of the national anthem makes me proud to be an American. It proves to me that thou the act of terror will change us it will not define us as a coutnry nor will it stunt us from growing or consume us with fear. If anything we will come together and become stronger. This here the voices of 1000's singing with all they got proves this. The good will win. The kindness and strength of doing what is right and just will over take the evil and terror. Today I am proud to be an American. We do not and will not live in fear. We will remember those who have loss their lives and honor them as well as those who have been inflicted with hurt and pain by standing up strong and proud to say we will endure that we will overcome we will come together and be one. We are stronger than the act of terror and rage. We are Americans. WE ARE BOSTON STRONG. And NO ONE or ONES will take that from us.
