I prefer “America the Beautiful”.

I don't particularly like "America the Beautiful" (alabaster cities?) I prefer the original words to the tune, O Mother Dear, Jerusalem

I prefer “America the Beautiful”.

I prefer “Dixie”.

America The Beautiful IS a beautiful song... it paints an amazing picture in the mind when you listen to the lyrics.

But there’s something about the National Anthem that runs up and down the spine and brings a tear to my eye (not easy).

I guess it’s KNOWING what it was written about, and what it cost in lives to KEEP that flag flying over Fort McHenry, that’s what gets me.
