When Did This Happen?????

When did they name America The Beautiful as the National Anthem? It was sung in place of The Star Spangled Banner tonight when the colors were presented at the Republican Convention. It was announced that the people should stand for the Pledge Of Allegiance and The National Anthem. I kept waiting for the National Anthem to be sung or played, but the colors were retired, and it did not happen. Apparently some folks knew the difference as there was a great deal of murmuring on the floor, but everyone sat down.

SDM, we may disagree on some things, but I appreciate your sticking to your beliefs and posting in a "hostile" environment. Often I think people miss your good arguements because they disagree with your statements. I think we all want the same things we just disagree on the route to get there.

I hope they end the convention with Stars and Stripes Forever.
