No Independence Day is complete without Kate Smith.

I saw her perform "God Bless America" during the pregame ceremony at the 1976 Rose Bowl Game.

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

It's Tunes For Our Troops!

Begin Again--Vera Lynn (1941)

[bankwalker]

She helped the Flyers win the Stanley Cup ...

[dfwgator]

Screw the Flyers for getting rid of her statue, outside of their arena.

[Fiji Hill]

Any Whittier High School students or alumni out there?

Yankee Rose

[bankwalker]

I agree ... she was from a different era ...

[Fiji Hill]

Screw the Flyers for getting rid of her statue, outside of their arena.

Indeed. She was "cancelled" for being a "racist." They can burn in hell along with the Dodgers.

[dfwgator]

And the Yankees.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Pro!!

1st...

[Fiji Hill]

I agree ... she was from a different era ...

Kate Smith was from an era when music was listenable.

Stay as Sweet as You Are--Kate Smith (1934)
