Im feeling all happy for some reason... so stand up and take off your hats! (by Tekton)
Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed atthetwilight'slast gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright starsthru the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, thebombsbursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected now shines in the stream: 'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntinglyswore That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion, A home and a country should leave us no more! Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight,or thegloom of the grave: And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand Between their loved home and the war's desolation! Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: "In God is our trust." And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Looks like someone's feeling unusually patriotic tonight...
I will always stop, no matter where I am, and face the flag, to honor our past present and future soldiers. Done it in a concession line once, and folks walked around me, the waiters at the game would not serve them, till I moved, after the anthem, and they had me come up to be served.
