These days hearing someone as young as you are showing your patriotism is unusual & probably goes against everything you have been taught. It brought me back to the 80's which were some of the best times I've ever had & some not so great...😈. You were great & thanks for the memories! 🇺🇸

Everyone who is saying this kid did a bad job needs to get up there and do it better or STFU. He rocked the Star Spangled Banner!

The kid did an awesome job. Even saluted at the end. I'm 55 and love it.
