What Should Have Been

Recently I complained about the overall demeanor and conduct of a Naturalization Ceremony I attended. I commented about the fact that with all the beautiful American Anthems available, they had chosen to play, “Proud to Be An American.” I know some people like it, but it’s a bit too country and smarmy for my tastes, and it just seems it would have been all to easy to use something like this.

This just stirs me far more.

(You’ll have to turn up the volume, it’s quite low.)
