This one is a sentimental favorite with me. Old-fashioned am I: I have always stood for the National Anthem and sung along to the words proudly. For all its flaws, America is still the land everyone's headed to. Enjoyed the tribute. G.L. in the contest. Happy Tuesday and Wednesday, Jan! :) gw

Well done, but USA is not so great anymore. We squabble about integrity whilst the British still concern themselves with, "To be or naught to be"! Good luck in the contest! Aloha! Rico
