Made me tear up. If I had been at the game and they sang that while the eagle was flying I would have lost it probably.

I am unfamiliar with this veterans being able to salute in plain clothes. When did this occur?

I believe they started to allow this after 9/11. Or at least sometime during Bush Jr’s time In office. I remember Congress authorized it.

As an enlisted person in the 90s we were told it was improper to salute when not in uniform.
ETA: Thanks to The Fonz. I was unaware it had changed.
Now get off my lawn.

Yes, I remember this from my time in.

It was great seeing a video of so many singing heart felt patriot songs. With all of the subversive "progressives" from the hate America first set in government, media and on campuses, it is a breath of fresh air.
I'd love to see this happen at all SEC games and beyond.
I sent the link to an old email group with many veterans. It brightened their day and gave a ray of hope.

Music critic Jody Rosen says that a 1906 Jewish dialect novelty song, "When Mose with His Nose Leads the Band," contains a six-note fragment that is "instantly recognizable as the opening strains of 'God Bless America'".

almost all had their hands over their hearts, impressive.

quote:”God Bless America” (“GBA”) is a great song, but the hand-over-heart salute is only applicable to the National Anthem, per the Flag Code. GBA is just a pop song from the 1930s. You may as well salute during Lee Greenwood.

I know I can do it, but it seems easier just to remove my hat and cross my heart.

Damnit Auburn!! I LOVE IT! I’m experiencing a moment of cognitive dissonance.. I’ll get over myself and send out a well-deserved War Eagle!
