On Canada Day we sang all of Oh Canada, not just the first verse.
I believe it would be most instructive for ALL of the Star Spangled Banner to be sung before the game. Versus 5 & 6 in particular I have quoted in my fiction. It is after all now public domain.

Lovely article. I strongly oppose the degradation of our country's historic symbols. The American Flag stands for freedom, liberty, and safety to so many who live outside of this nation. As citizens we should honor these symbols. Thank you for the wonderful insight.

I took an oath to defend this nation with my life. and that includes this country's flag. For those who want to change it you will have a fight on your hands. God Bless America and all that she stands for.

I would say that those who think that the flag represents a war symbol are un-informed. The 13 stripes represent the original 13 colonies, and the stars represent the 50 states which make up the union. These folks obviously missed their history lessons.
