Assignment 2

I first learned the star-spangled banner from going to Royals games as a child with my father. We have been going to games as long as I can remember and before the game the star-spangled banner was something I always wondered why they would sing it. As I got older I started to understand the meaning of the star-spangled banner and why it gets sung at all the events such as a basketball game, a karate tournament, and a graduation. The star-spangled banner means to me the world as a whole and our freedom that we have. I also think about the men that serve in the army and how much they have sacrificed for themselves and for the United States of America.
