[TF2] Soldier Sings the American National Anthem (ft. George Hoctor) (NOT AI Cover)

[@uberchainYT]

Hoctor and I have both heard the news about Rick May, and we hope his family & friends are doing well during these times. May he rest in peace, and we are both thankful for the life he breathed into Soldier, that continues to live on with this wonderful character.

Canada is more corrupt with a president who is letting illegal refugees come into the country and decided to put them first instead of the ones that come the right way and when asked about it he goes and says diversity is our strength and ignores the question
