The essence of a country’s national anthem brings so much more than just the words and the music. It brings with it, like our journey, a depth and texture that rises above and creates an emotional connection that runs deep inside of us. Something that defines who we are as a community, what we stand for, and what we need to stay true too. And the commitment to the Star Spangled Banner, a song written in the early days of the U.S., is something that we all have to protect and appreciate. And in this version of the Star Spangled Banner composed by New Republic, we get a true sense of its meaning and impact. Take a look and enjoy – it is creative, moving and just what we need on our journey – a reminder…..of why, yes why…..
