Of special note is that Francis Scott Key actually penned an ampersand in the phrase “o’er the land of the free & the home of the brave.” Good going, Frank!ĭevelopment of this post has been suspended until time allows for a comprehensive compilation of stories and images. The history of “The Star-Spangled Banner” - the national anthem of the USA - is fascinating. This is a high-resolution pdf & may take a few minutes to download.

I support legal immigration, and my family sponsored the wife and daughters of a waiter we came to know, so it can be done.Įither way, the poem has vibrant imagery, vibrant wording, and a strong message. If someone broke a window and came into my home I would not allow them to stay, my country is my home. I am in no way against IMMIGRATION, but I am against illegal immigration. When veterans cannot get housing but illegals can it is upsetting. I was hit by an illegal immigrant while riding my bike to work and ended up with a broken leg and lost wages.

A good friend in high school's dad was killed in a hit and run by someone who entered illegally 4 times. I grew up in a "border town" and witnessed the high crime rates, and yes the rapes and murders, of citizens at the hands of those in the country illegally.

The last part of the poem is well written, but it is on a topic in which I have a different view. Though it was not THIS dramatic, you showed some of the actions caused by BOTH sides of the aisle, which happens when the nation has been successfully divided by politicians and corrupt media. SerenityNChains - I enjoyed the imagery in the first few stanzas in what seemed to be a lamenting of the riot on the capitol buildings. Shrouded whispers, quietly, find a deaf ear Gusting upon the winds of insanity, burstingĮmbers flee, smoking guns point-liberally “in the Land of the Free, and the Home of the Brave” “in the Land of the Free, and Home of the Brave” “in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave”

Silent whispers, undermine strident-shouts
