Star Spangled Banner by the Cactus Cuties

Maybe I'm just getting sentimental in my old age, but this brought tears to my eyes. As I watch these talented and precious girls sing our national anthem I can't help but be overwhelmed by the beauty of the song and the beauty of the country for which it was written. It makes me appreciate my freedom from tyranny, from hate, and from oppression. What absolute beauty there is in this great nation, from the greatest people in history, from the still-innocent voices of these little girls. Where else on the planet can one enjoy this measure of living, this freedom, this beauty?

"This is a video of the Cactus Cuties, very talented young ladies ranging in age from 8 to 13 singing The Star Spangled Banner.
