“Teaching children to respect their country and appreciate the sacrifices made for the freedoms we enjoy is crucial from an early age. One powerful way to pay tribute to the courageous men and women who fought for our freedom is by standing during the National Anthem. Unfortunately, this practice is not as common among today’s youth.
The Star-Spangled Banner, adopted as the official hymn of the United States in 1931, has deep historical roots. Its lyrics originated from the poem ‘Defence of Fort M’Henry,’ penned in September 1814 by amateur poet Francis Scott Key. Inspired by the sight of the bombardment of Fort McHenry during the Battle of Baltimore, Key’s creation celebrates the resilience of the American flag.
Played at sports events and other significant gatherings, “The Star-Spangled Banner” conveys a message of unity, emphasizing that despite differences in race, religion, or politics, we are all Americans. The anthem’s challenging lyrics and music make it a feat reserved for professional musicians or recorded performances.
Jadon Perez, a 10-year-old with a captivating voice, gained recognition on TikTok and recently went viral for his rendition of the national anthem.
