On the flip side, there was a very touching moment back in 2014. Canada had suffered a great tragedy - a gunman on Parliament hill in Ottawa. The people of Pittsburgh (fans) of the Pittsburgh Penquins + their bitter rivals- Philadelphia flyers at the start of the game sang O Canada together. It was a heartstring twister.

Yeah, Nashville Predators fans, also, sang "O Canada" directly as a tribute to the Canadians who had finished the US anthem in this video. The singer purposely stopped and held up the mic so the entire stadium could sing instead and they really did! Absolutely beautiful. (The video for that is on KZbin as well).

I worked for a pro hockey team in the States for about ten years and we had fans that would sing the Canadian anthem when the mic would cut out, too. You would get the same chills. Americans and Canadians have had and will continue to have each other's backs. Unfortunately, politicians on both sides are trying to destroy that bond, but the citizens are all on the same side when we need to be. For us regular folks, it's just a friendly rivalry.

[@codygates7418]

I’m glad my fellow Americans were also able to honor our Canadian family by singing their national anthem as well. In fact they even sung it after showing Canadians singing ours and the announcer asked the American crowd to show our appreciation by singing the Canadian one for them in return. 🇺🇸+🇨🇦=❤

A song born out of trauma, a story told with great passion, then adopted as National Anthem. I guess some countries set out to have someone compose a national anthem, but for the US, so much passion & gratitude went into one man's creation of a song it still reverberates. And some people wonder why so many Americans care so much about our country, our National Anthem. It was just born that way, embedded in our souls. It's so wonderful that it so deeply resonates within you. May you have a wonder-filled and miraculous trip in the US.

Both videos were awesome. The words for U.S. National Anthem were written during the War 1812 with Great Britain. The melody is from a song written for a British men's social club and was specified by Francis Scott Key to use in singing his words. It did not officially become the national anthem until Congress acted to do so about 1930.

[@monikamartin6002]

It was not written for a men's social club. It actually was during a prisoner exchange when Key was on a British ship at sea watching the Brits bomb Fort Henry repeatedly during the War of 1812. The family did a reaction of the backstory of the Star Spangled Banner a couple of years ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/enW9h4BtpZySd8U

[@garygreen7552]

@@monikamartin6002 The WORDS were written by Key. The MELODY was written by John Stafford Smith, an English composer and musician, for a men's social club in London. The words Smith set were in praise of a god of wine, not the battle at Fort McHenry.

Either way we look at it, neither country has the same military as they did +200 years ago.

I think the national anthem sung at TD Garden by the Boston Bruins fans after the Boston Marathon bombing may be one of the best crowd singing versions of the anthem. The mic didn’t cut out, but listening to a stadium full of people sing our anthem after such a horrific event, is always moving. Definitely worth watching if you haven’t seen it before!

[@nochannel1q2321]

Boston's designated singer was having trouble keeping it together and opted to kind of conduct the crowd. It's actually happened with Americans doing the Canadian anthem, and Canadians doing the American anthem a fair number of times due to rink audio failures every so often. Even from Montreal and they're just terrible people.

You only get both the Canadian anthem & the US anthem at sporting events where there's a team from Canada playing a team from the US. So ice hockey is the obvious choice, as there are seven NHL teams in Canada, but also there's one Canadian MLB team, one Canadian NBA team, & three Canadian MLS teams, too. So hockey fans are very familiar with both anthems, & many fans sing both in the stands.

Grand Dad thought of New Zaland as the second anchor of the pacific war. The only thing that Dad made clear was to always attack first in the Pacific. The Pacific fleet was thought as a holding action. He said to advance. The momentum was there. He was just a corporal & seemed to know more than the brass. He said to always advance. He said as long as they were advancing; he would get home sooner than later.

I went to a concert by the Vancouver Symphony outdoors and they began it with "Oh, Canada" which I heartily did my best to sing. Actually, I'll sing anybody's anthem if I can (for most, I'll need to be given the words)--they are nearly all great songs. By the way, don't know if you saw the news about the tennis fan recently ejected from a match for singing the original first stanza of "Deutschland Uber Alles" which was a song written by the much admired Joseph Haydn and, with words composed I think in 1922, used as the German national anthem after that. But because Hitler enthusiastically used it after he came to power a decade later, the post-war German government dropped the first 2 relatively nationalistic stanzas and only use the third. Very few if any Americans know this--I didn't--and if you Google "German National Anthem" you are likely to get all three even now. Anyway, the fan began singing the first stanza during a match involving a German player who objected to the referee, arguing the fan was slandering him as a Nazi which I'm almost certain wasn't the case--he was probably supporting him.

I cry every time! It’s so beautiful, and such a powerful song, especially if your ancestors fought in the battle. My family had quite a few military in the family. Mom often said that there were so many uniforms walking around her house growing up she had to look up at their faces to see who was who. Her brother ended up dying while stationed in Algiers due to “friendly fire.” He was shot while sitting in a jeep. One of his buddies had found a Luger and they were looking at it in the back seat. It accidentally went off and shot the guys finger off that was holding it. They were so freaked out that the guy shot his finger off that they didnt even realize that the bullet went up through the seat and straight into my uncle, killing him instantly. 😢 My grandmother said that “Jerome” appeared at the foot of her bed that night and she said, “Jerome, what are you doing home?” He said to her “mom, I am alright” and then he disappeared”. She found out that he had been killed by telegram the next day. Very sad and to this day every time I hear the National Anthem, I think of my uncle and his brothers and sisters who fought for our freedom and how much they endured for us.❤ Thanks so much for loving our Country.🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

There is a time when a young girl was singing the National Anthem before a Portland Trailblazers game and got nervous and couldn't get through it. The head coach Maurice Cheeks came over and sang it with her to help her out.
