Welcome M, I just love the reactions of the soldiers' kids and families, just great.

Stringer... I can't say anything... I'm in tears... Thank You... Kit

When I'm using a high-speed connection, which should be in about a week, I would love to see the video!

It is uplifting.

I've never heard it before but I think it's wonderful!

Hey! That was GREAT, Stringer! :)

I was finally able to view it!

Ya got a Kleenex I can use?

Yes there is a 4th stanza.

Although the song has four stanzas, only the first is commonly sung today, with the fourth ("O thus be it ever when free men shall stand...") added on more formal occasions. In the fourth stanza, Key urged the adoption of "In God is our Trust" as the national motto ("And this be our motto: In God is our Trust").[2] The United States adopted the motto "In God We Trust" by law in 1956.
