Wonderful video of Autistic teenager having problems with National Anthem and crowd who helps him out. Wonderful example of America and Boston (even!).

Contrast this with the ommission of the Anthem at last night's Monday Night Football game.

Too bad we don’t SING the anthem at every sporting event.

That’s wonderful! Especially since folks don’t sing the national anthem anymore at ballparks. Sad, but the performers do it, and the crowd stays silent...except for a very few singers like me.

Doubt it. This was apparently June 30.

I've been to a fair number of ball games in my life, and what impressed me about the video is the way the crowd stepped up, not just singing the Anthem, but singing it well -- and it is not a easy song to sing. Wile the kid was singing, there was was a general sort of murmur, but when he started to lose his place, the fans lent a hand. It really is touching.
