Those are truly brave man as are any men that fight for what they believe in. America is not the land of the free for everyone also how did America became so great let’s not fool ourselves. (Palms 33:12 12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.) If we going to read scripture, read it in its full contents because it’s referring to a nation of people which are the chosen!

It certainly is an amazing story. Unfortunately it is not factual.

[@marcom6089]

First of all, you must be an uneducated child if you can’t believe people hate this country. Now, if by people you mean to say Americans then yeah you shouldn’t believe that because I am willing to bet there’s not a single American who truly hates our country. Let’s get one thing clear, being critical of one’s country doesn’t mean that the person doesn’t love his/her country. It simply means that they are aware of our country’s shortcomings and they want our country to rise and be better than our past. Your mentality of, if you don’t like it here then leave and go find a better place, is beyond childish to put it nicely. But just to make sure you understand one thing, I’ll remind you of one thing. The United States Bill of Rights mentions something along the lines of ‘freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition;’ I believe it’s the first amendment. Now isn’t it wonderful that it was included as an amendment to the constitution so that no American could dictate to another American that they have to leave their country simply because they disagree. Thought you could use a reminder of what being an American is all about. You’re welcome.

Thomas, while I sympathize with your feelings about Flag Burners. Those of us who have served in the Military take an oath to Defend the Constitution, and sadly, flag burning is a form of speech. I served 20 years active duty. I am a disabled veteran and I love this Nation with every fiber of my being. Getting to wear the uniform is to cover yourself with the cloth of this Great Nation. I can't pick and choose which parts of the Constitution I will support and defend I have to support the whole thing. That means swallowing some unsavory actions. And even though I believe he was only doing it to self promote, even Colin Kaoperturd taking a knee is protected by the first amendment. I will say this, I tried foolishly to explain to people that the Star Spangled Banner is not racist. I even provided similar links that tell this story But I got told White privilege yada yada yada Steve I didn't know you were a racist blah blah blah and all other kinds of ignorance One of the greatest problems with our Nation today is no one considers what others have to say ( not accusing you of doing that Sir). While others are talking we are thinking of what we are going to say. Our Government is a prime example. But even though I said all that, when I'm at a ball game or just within earshot of our National Anthem I get pissed when people don't show respect. Also, maybe the host can answer this, I read somewhere that the reason we stopped singing the verse with the word slave in it was because around WWI we were starting to become friendly with the U.K. ( which for obvious reasons much, if not all the 19th Century was a time when we were not on good terms with them) Anyone else heard that?

[@elaines3883]

Cry like crazy every time I hear this. God bless 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@vanheath5382]

Thank you so much! The price of our country’s freedom was immeasurable. I couldn’t help but tear up listening to the story

[@amymichelle1916]

I love hearing this story and wished it was taught in school. I come from a military family goes back to the Revolutionary War to Iraq and Afghanistan.I was taught to respect the flag and our military who fight for our country. This is why the flag never touches the ground, and why we stand when it's presented. Thank you for this reation 😊 Hearing this story always brings tears to my eyes and gives me chill bumps 😊

[@naledimotswagae2077]

The resilient Americans!God bless America!

[@robertvanderbaan3722]

I have heard this rendition many times. I tear up with emotion everytime. There is no question in my mind Americans in their heart from day one understand this sacrifice and will stand in line to hold the flag high for everyone. It is our compassion for all that have made this world better, safer, and richer in all aspects. It will be a very sad day when this not the case. It is not the most hated country in the world, it is, without question, the most admired and loved. I have been around the world it is all I have felt, and provided.

[@poppinwithandy7742]

Tears are flowing from my eyes

[@Downey-2000]

Props for this one Devin . 🇺🇸

[@lenawright1857]

My family has a strong military background. I currently have a daughter serving in the USAF. We are proud of our heritage. Just last week I pulled this up and was FLOORED when my husband said he had never heard this before. Why don't they teach this in our schools? Thankfully my daughters grew up listening to their great -grandfather, great-uncles, grandmother, etc. talk about our great nation and the sacrifices that were made to make it free. Mistakes were made obviously, but the fact remains that we are free and the cost was steep. May God bless you all and protect our troops.

[@jonathanrandolph9118]

What an incredible story, so glad someone is sharing this

[@carolperry5584]

I cry every time I hear our song but today I wept.... God bless our America!

[@frankslay4920]

Agree with everything you said in this video and It makes me sad that not everyone living in this country feels this way.

[@OurBucketListHasHoles]

Thank you for placing your hand over your heart🙏Most of the reaction videos I watched regarding this story, no one placed their hand over their heart for respect of our flag. Thank you again🙏

[@micpic119]

This is mesmerizing. Kudos Devin, I've never seen you so speechless - as was I.

[@nedda102]

Thanks so much GOD BLESS 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 USA

[@meldilly7756]

I was taught that Sir Francis Scott Key himself was being held prisoner and he watched all of this while captive. Very interesting. This song always gives me chills and makes me tear up

[@oculus1857]

I as well

[@whitl.4062]

From my understanding he was technically being held captive as they wanted him to report back as to what he saw.

[@josephweems7994]

It was also penned originally as a poem and later adopted and turned into the song that we all know and love.

[@michaellamasters7007]

Ne too

[@ClonserHalphalive]

I heard he was on a nearby ship, but I don't remember if my history teacher said as a prisoner

[@jessicachilders7287]

I loved you’re reaction!!! So many people don’t get what it means for the flag to touch the ground. Every time Someone disrespects that flag they’re disrespecting our political leaders they’re disrespecting our forefathers and every soldier that’s fought and died to give them the freedom they have. The blood that’s on that flag is extreme and everytime it’s stomped on they’re stomping on the dead that died and gave them the freedom to stomp on that flag. I better never see it in my lifetime coz they will have me on them. I will fight anyone that disrespects my country. I will stand up and defend that flag.

[@TheYellowsvt98]

Man, that brought a tear to my eye. I did know most of the story. I am supposed to be distantly related to Francis Scott Key, although I can’t prove it.

[@murrismiller2312]

I am German/Swiss and Native American ( Cherokee/Creek, Choctaw/Chickasaw )...I am so glad the colonists said NO to tyranny

[@racheldunlap5406]

I’ve watched this video several times in the last year and I still cry like a baby every time I watch it 😭. I had my boys watch it with me and they were in awe the whole time. I want them to be proud of their Country and understand the cost of freedom and what those who came before us gave to protect it.

[@edithpack9962]

So am I and it still Flies and Waves, God bless every soul in America. Men and women for many wars, Died for this flag and what it means. Walk like you are free. Love you where ever you are in the World.

[@colonelb]

The fact that this story isn't commonly taught baffles me - it's about one of the most important nights in the history of our country - every American should be able to tell this story from memory, yet it's left out of most curriculum. *Fun Fact:* The fort mentioned is *Fort McHenry* and is just outside Baltimore AND IT IS STILL THERE! It's now a national park and has been preserved to look the way it did back then. You can stand on the edge of the fort and look out and see the harbor that was full of British ships and imagine the sight. The flag that flies there is now a replica, the original was so badly damaged. BUT - you can see the original flag as well - it's at the Smithsonian American History museum in Washington DC. It's pretty badly shot up and has holes in it (you can find pictures of it online as well), but you can stand there and see it. I recommend to anyone that gets a chance to visit Fort McHenry and the Smithsonian American History museum. It's quite a moving experience to see first hand. Cheers.

[@robertphelps1574]

The flag on display at the Smithsonian museum is the flag that was raised after the attack had ended so it couldn’t of been shot up

[@lorriemoffatt352]

Every American needs to see this video. This country needs to be reminded what America is about. Born In the 60s Love Jesus Love 🇺🇸

[@gma1343]

This was taught in schools many years ago, when we still had prayer. I am shocked at how many don't know this historical fact. My uncle was one of the young Marines that held up the flag in World War Two. The now famous picture and subsequent statue. To this day I still stand with tears in my eyes for My Countries Anthem. We of the older generation that lived through war and have the memories of war are hurting to our very souls as we see what is happening to our Country today. Watching as the very young men left, knowing most would never come home. The dreaded telegram with the Black Band. All some families have left are Dog Tags that are proudly displayed and cherished. God Bless the United States of America

[@gma1343]

@Edward Ray We are very proud of his and all military young men that gave their all for our country. The Marine Corps War Memorial depicts the raising of the American flag at Mount Suribachi on 23 February 1945 by U.S. Marines in World War II during the Battle of Iwo Jima. The monument is located in Arlington, Virginia on a 7½-acre tract of land managed by the Department of the Interior.

[@gma1343]

I don't know how many may know about the raising of the flag over Iwo Jima. But there were actually two flag raising that day. This is what caused confusion over the soldiers names for many years. The famous photograph is of the second flag raising. Both were heroic acts of patriotism.

[@chadenglot8829]

I am not even American and it brought tears to my eyes. I love my American neighbors! Love and God bless from Canada!

[@brentfrench752]

You think of what the people fought for during the revolutionary war, then again during the war of 1812 when Francis Scott Key penned this poem, and it brings tears, pride and thankfulness that we live in this awesome country. It seems unfathomable that there are so many citizens that don’t like or respect this country, and are continually trying to destroy it. Yes, we made some horrendous mistakes throughout our history, but this remains the greatest country in the world.

[@tracyrockers1748]

Thank you ,Sir. 😊 I shared it on 3 platforms. We all needed this . Thank you again 💓

[@bruceborneman]

God bless you and your endevors Devin. Your head and heart are in the right place and are a wonderful human being. Been watching your channel for years now and you always do a great job and keep me watching! I pray the Lord keeps you close to Him and keeps bad away from you

[@BTDT9294]

We need to see this again, especially now! Love it!❤

[@tommywalker3746]

Should also check out Paul Harvey's If I were the devil

[@juliannakelly1046]

Oh yes, that is a scary good one also. That really opens your eyes. It's as if the left decided too use it for their benefit. Everyone does need to hear this and finally see the lies of the left

[@tracyworth1630]

I saw this a year ago and it makes me cry each time I see it and I am British. You are spot on about these athletes who I feel stomps on the memory of the people who died for your country. You patriots are so generous, patient and kind to the radical left who don't always deserve it. You all should be so proud of your self restraint lol I love watching your reactions and I admire, respect and love to see the passion of you true patriots. God bless you all from the UK xxx

[@Mass.Effect]

So true I can never hear this rendition without tear's coming to my eye's hearing what the National Anthem actually means!!!

[@bobbyadams7502]

Australian here.. Thank you so much for sharing this..so much respect for patriots .. so happy to know the story behind Star Spangled Banner .. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@willcallmagic]

I remember being in grade school. We learned that story in 4th grade way back then. I remember have general assembly. The principle would start out end with a prayer and on certain days 30 seconds of silence. Standing every day for the flag listening to the National anthem and reading. Sorry all that was taken away when I graduated.

[@huntercleveland7950]

I'm almost 21, I remember when I was a little boy say around 8, 9, or 10, I would go to my grandmother's house often (R.I.P.) and she had a honor guard sized flag but not as big but still a good size, and I would wave that flag around outside in the sun, in the rain, and gaze at it with gracious joy. I loved that flag and I still do. God bless the USA.

[@joaomare763]

Eu amo o U.S.A eu dou português mas mesmo assim sou patriota Deus abencoe todos os patriotss que respeitam a bandeira e que amam o seu país Deus te abencoe

[@DanS-wh6qi]

The song sends shivers down my spine and tears in eyes keep the faith

[@AMERICA_F1RST]

Over my 30 years I've never heard the reason or this story behind our national anthem. I believe everyone should know what we stand for and why our flag still waves to this day. These young kids need this lesson, I love this country and so proud to be an american even in this rut we are going through. We are the greatest and will pick back up !!!! Just subscribed after bunches of vids watched , thanks brotha keep it up

[@FKH23577]

Thank you so much Devin!!! Wonderful!!! Crying my eyes out and proud of it. 😭😭😭❤️
