Herman Cain lead a Q&A session at the Douglas County Tea Party when a young woman asked him about the attack by the Left on our Judeo-Christian heritage in America...He addressed her question, then went to the last question of the night, and the crowd was not expecting what happened next...

Could you share with those of us who can’t stream video??
That was sure something. Thanks for posting.
Wow.
I’d read the second verse but never heard it sung before, Wow!!
Simply awesome!
Well that certainly set the youtube liberals off.
Awesome.
The last question was.. Well, a man who proceeded to sign the SECOND VERSE of the Star Spangled Banner quite well.
Totally unexpected by me. An audience member sings a different version of the National Anthem. It was very good.
“different version of the National Anthem”
Drat it wrong song.
>> An audience member sings a different version of the National Anthem. It was very good.
A Marine if I’m not mistaken.
An 60’ish guy who is marine stood up and told Cain that people forget the SECOND STANZA to the Star Spangle Banner...He then sang it in a beautiful, powerful and moving voice..people in the crowd realized what is happening and stood up with hands on their hearts.
Oh Thus be it ever when free men shall stand between their loved homes and the world desolation?
Or another verse....Their are four verses.
One of my favorite all time Freeper moments.
That was very nice, thanks for posting
Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
‘Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war’s desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust.”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
