and I thank you for sharing it.

As a result of your post, I watched the video - and what a beautiful rendition of our National Anthem it is!

Thanks again.

I suspect he wasn't quite "on his game" given where he was, but that confidence should come with maturity.

Funny thing is, as I learned early on in California, there's a good chance a family with an Hispanic name has been in this country far longer than my family has, so criticism of them based on that flimsy basis can prove egregiously wrong.

This child had a wonderful moment and these people had to spread their venom because of their jealousy.

San Antonio is pretty much owned by the Hispanic community. Americans, not Mexicans. Yes they are proud of their heritage, but so am I.

So foolish. So ignorant.
