Now I'm not American, I'm actually Australian, but I have visited your country a couple of times, traveled from west to east & back again, & I would move my family &I to the USA in a flash.
As a musician of 30 years, I've always said the American National Anthem is the nicest National Anthem out of all the National Anthems around the globe.
I have always admired all Americans for their patriotism, courage & the determination to rebuild their lives after such tragic events like 9/11 & the recent hurricanes.
This arrangement is inspiring & depicts the solidarity and patriotism of all Americans at ceremonial times & the tragic times that we wish we could erase from our past.
