Navy’s 2-Word ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ Video Leaves Viewers Speechless
We The People Daily ^ | July 27, 2020 | Jared Harris

Posted on 07/28/2020 5:19:24 PM PDT by ProtectOurFreedom

A new video from the United States Navy only runs for a little over two minutes, and ends with two words.

Nevertheless, it is a powerful video that hints at the modern challenges our Navy faces, and the professionalism with which our sailors rise to the occasion.

The video was released Monday on the Navy’s official Twitter account.

In a post accompanying the clip, the Navy wrote: “24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Your [Navy] is on watch and ready around the world.”

Sailors are shown running night missions, taking oaths in the field, delivering supplies and performing practice water rescues, hinting at the Navy’s role as a varied and adaptable force.

Midway through the video, the mood shifts in a big way. The video turns to Navy firepower — ordnance being detonated underwater, a machine gun lighting up the ocean night with a punishing stream of tracer fire and a flyover formation of strike fighters and electronic warfare planes.

The video is fantastic and a great counterpoint to the miserable cretins rioting all over the USA. See if you can watch this and NOT get chills and goosebumps. Here's to all of our men and women in uniform keeping us safe around the clock.

Here's a direct link to US Navy twitter site and video:

24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Your #USNavy is on watch and ready around the world

You don’t have to subscribe. Just click no thanks when they ask you to. I watch linked twitter feeds all the time with no subscription.

If I thought the Navy was more interested in war fighting than in extreme political correctness, I would appreciate the video more.
