The sun shone brightly through my American flag this morning. The American flag, the symbol of freedom. In view of the upcoming election next week, I thought of our national anthem that we've heard countless times... often at sporting events. We know the song by heart, we can repeat the lyrics by heart, probably without even thinking through them. How often, though, have we heard the whole song? Here are the lyrics the to last verse of The Star Spangled Banner:Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace,
may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made
and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
