Maybe I’m in the minority, but personally, I truly dislike our anthem. Aside from the musical difficulty in singing it, it glorifies war. Why not a beautiful anthem that sings about the BEAUTY or LOVE of America? “America The Beautiful” or even “God Bless America” come to mind. Other countries have much more melodic anthems…and have lyrics about love of country. (“O Canada” comes to mind).
