I'm literally tearing up and crying watching this. God Bless him, thanks to him and his entire generation we are still free. God Bless the greatest country that God ever put on this Earth.


He still has lung capacity, too. Holding out the "free" note.

That's awesome. God bless him for loving his best life.

Though it's not a saxophone, but a clarinet.

Then down vote away, doesn't bother me that petty MFers are petty. But, down voting a 102 yo Vet doing the National Anthem is a sick MFer.

One of the best ever

A vet with that kind of lung capacity at 104 and a name like Dominick Critelli is probably living to 150

Wrong. It’s a soprano sax. The body is similar to a clarinet, but a clarinet is made of wood and sounds nothing like that.

A straight saxophone is a version of the instrument, most commonly a soprano or sometimes an alto, that features a cylindrical body with a straight neck and bell, unlike the curved designs of most alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones, offering a direct, sometimes brighter tone and a look reminiscent of a clarinet, often preferred in jazz for aiming the sound, but also available for classical players seeking distinct sound and performance identity.
